As a fundraiser for Tom of Finland Foundation, guests are invited to partake in this indoor/outdoor opening night gala party. Part exhibition, part circuit party, part dinner party, lots of joy!

This is the safe, post-covid party we kind of need.

You will have a personal opportunity to preview artwork and meet artists on Second Home’s lush campus. 

“While we’re etheral, zen, and femme, this collaborator is masculine, bold, raw and celebrating Tom of Finland as a cross generational beacon of gay liberation and community, we are proud to throw this party.”

Ticket includes entry to the Festival and a communal, autumnal three course dinner by the Michelin-starred team. Cocktail/beer/wine included with dinner. Cash bar for minglers/boozers/cruisers (consensual, of course).

Minh Phan’s Phenakite is a modern, fine dining restaurant with the most heartfelt and innovative cuisine in Los Angeles. Your experience is expertly curated by Phan and her team.

“Chef Minh Phan’s Phenakite takes up residence at a co-working office space called Second Home Hollywood, nestled among trees and within a beautifully maintained structure built by the pioneering architect, Paul R. Williams. Named after a rare crystal, this ambitious restaurant debuted in the midst a global health crisis and its—utterly romantic—setting reflects as much with dining being entirely outdoors—at curvaceous tables arranged under a blanket of garden lights.”

“Since our inception in 1984, Tom of Finland Foundation has been an ever-expanding and driving force in the international sphere of protecting, preserving, and promoting the erotic arts. In planning for the future of TOM’s Foundation, you are an essential component. Foremost, it is my hope that we share a common philosophy: The presence of Tom of Finland Foundation contributes to a more inclusive and diverse global culture that spreads the doctrine that we are all creations of Mother Earth and have our rightful place here on her planet.” -Durk Dehner, President and Cofounder, Tom of Finland Foundation

Proceeds go to Tom of Finland Foundation to preserve erotic art and provide service to the LGBTQIA community.
