Engage with the living legacy of our two Toms with an intimate conversation between Durk Dehner, Tom of Finland Foundation President & Cofounder, and Tom Bianchi, legendary photographer, ToFF 2023 Artist Hall of Fame inductee, and Palm Spring resident; moderated by Richard Villani, Foundation Creative Director. In their respective eras, each Tom used their capable skills to depict the virility of men in ways that gave form to Homoerotic desire and feelings of joy and that help inspire both real-world liberation and gave Gay men greater access to strengths and community.

With opening remarks from Edward Cella, Foundation Chief Executive Officer and a brief overview of the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to expand the legacy of Tom of Finland and support LGBTQ+ artists and their creative freedom of expression.

Followed by Meet the Two Toms reception.
