EROTICA SHOW: LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU

Please join us for our highly anticipated annual Erotica Show, displaying sensual and playfully suggestive works by member and nonmember artists working in photography, painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, and sculpture.

We kick off the exhibition with an opening reception and fundraiser featuring live entertainment and a variety of food and drink. Artists and guests are invited to come in festive attire, with cross-dressing encouraged. Attendees must be 18 or over and there is a $10 cover charge. The party is on Saturday, February 4, 2012, from 7 to 9 PM, and the show starts at 8 PM.

This year's theme is "Let Me Entertain You," and our theme song will be sung
by Nan Eliot, a talented actor and singer with a rich, enticing voice. Nan will also be reading from "The Vagina Monologues." Also on the program is co-op member artist and vocalist Karl Volk. Karl will bring his own unique mix of fun and pathos as he performs "A Little More Mascara." Among the many other surprises is a staging of the Happy Bordello scene from Cait Johnson's play "Falling in Love Can Be Hell," first performed at Rokeby Mansion by the very talented Cait and friends, and complete with costumes and music. Later in the evening, you'll be enticed by the sensual bellydancing of consummate dancer Elizabeth Muise, and you may even find yourself joining in.

Our artists will also entertain, fascinate, and titillate. Dan Mc Cormack captures the beauty and seductive female form in a manner that is both evocative and innocent. Marc Sacerdote, an exciting artist with a background in graphics, creates stimulating visions as well as amazing videos. Artist Frana Baruch pushes the possibilities of fine-line pen and ink drawing to the edge and explores many other intriguing avenues of artistic expression. Karl Volk will amaze you with his versatility and passion, drawing you into his art for closer examination. Jon Gernon is an artist and draftsman of extraordinary talent whose silvery and golden nudes eminate delicacy and beauty. And this is just a small sampling . . . we hope to see you there!
