HISTORY

SEAF was founded in 2002 by the Seattle Sex Positive Community Center to promote freedom of sexuality, speech and creativity through the erotic expression of fine art and is presented by the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture.

In just five years, SEAF has become a leader in the international trend to popularize erotic art and make it accessible to general audiences and valuable to collectors. SEAF artists enjoy significant sales in the Exhibition, Auction and particularly through the widely popular Festival Store, which features small work, prints, oddities, collectibles and related merchandise. To date, over 10,000 people have been a part of this pre-eminent event.
