Sexology 101 is a charitable art auction raising funds for Tom of Finland Foundation which serves to promote, protect and preserve LGBTQIA+ art and artists. The artist-donated works will be auctioned on and hosted by world-renowned and established art platform Artsy. As this year would have been Tom’s 101st birthday, the theme of the auction is “A 101 Sex-Ed Class” in which the participating artists are the “professors”.
