We are thrilled to announce that pre-sale tickets are now available for the Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival Los Angeles, sponsored by DIESEL. This year will see the Festival run concurrently with CLAW’s LA Leather Thanksgiving for the first time. Join us Friday 29th November through Sunday 1st December in Downtown Los Angeles at the Hotel Indigo.

The world’s largest erotic art fair, the Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival will take over Hotel Indigo in Downtown Los Angeles over Thanksgiving weekend with CLAW. A socially-friendly setting for artists, galleries, collectors and vendors to socialize as well as buy and sell works of art, the Festival will be open to the public 11a-8p on Friday 29th November, 10a-6p on Saturday 30th November, and 11a-5p on Sunday 1st December.

Programming for this year’s Festival in Los Angeles is more expansive and a few highlights include the screening of select scenes from the feature-length documentary House of Leather followed by a panel discussion with past Foundation artists-in-residence including filmmaker Jamison Rockmore, and moderated by Foundation Creative Director Richard Villani; Linda Simpson’s Drag Explosion, a unique narrated tour through some of the thousands of photos that she has taken that serve as a visual document of the entire history of drag becoming an art form that is now celebrated by the mainstream, moderated by Rick Herron; and a keynote address by African-American photographer Paul Mpagi Sepuya, who will present an overview of his distinctive studio-based photographic practice that has been featured in exhibitions like SFMoMA and Whitney Biennial (2019), with opening remarks by Foundation President & Cofounder Durk Dehner.
