LOS ANGELES—In celebration of Pride Month and to destigmatize and support conversations on pleasure, sexual wellness brand and retailer Lovers has launched the Lovers Artist Series: Pride Edition.
Lovers has commissioned 10 LGBTQIA+ visual artists to each create a piece of art that interprets what “orgasm” feels like, looks like, and/or means to them. One-hundred percent of proceeds from sales of the resulting prints will be donated to two LGBTQIA+ focused non-profits, Lambda Legal and APLA Health.
On June 14, 2021, all 10 works will be revealed in Lovers' virtual gallery for viewing and voting, and the three artworks that inspire the most votes will be available for sale on June 25 as 8 x 10" art prints for $24 each, on LoversStores.com. Until June 14, patrons can save 20% by pre-ordering a set of all three prints sight unseen for $60, here.
"Lovers created the Lovers Artist Series: Pride Edition to amplify the work of inspiring and transformative queer artists, as well as to support non-profit organizations serving the LGBTQIA+ community," said Jen May, Lovers' senior director of marketing. "Lovers is committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces for all people to be their authentic selves. This provocative series will continue conversations around visibility, acceptance, and the complexity of pleasure and identity."
