The Tom of Finland’s 17th Annual West Hollywood Erotic Art Fair starts Friday and closes Sunday in Fiesta Hall at Palmer Park, 7377 Santa Monica Blvd., and this year, promoters promise to put the “Erotic back into the weekend.”

The show features numerous artists from around the globe displaying and selling sculptures, photographs, paintings, sketches and digital renderings. Some of the artists who will be at the show include Hector Silva, Michael Kirwan, Lalo Ugalde as well as Long Beach artists Steven H. Garcia and Steve MacIsaac.
