Erotica LA Presents Second Annual Summer Exhibition with The Erotic Museum

Erotica LA (ELA), scheduled for June 10 through June 12, has announced the Second Annual Summer Exhibition in conjunction with its sponsorship alliance with The Erotic Museum in Hollywood.

The Museum will take over a 3,500 square feet of exhibition space where attendees can get a taste of what the Museum has to offer and other surprises. The exhibit will highlight current and anticipated works of Picasso, Warhol and more from The Erotic Museum.

“We are very excited about participating at Erotica LA again,” said Mark Volper, CFO of The Erotic Museum. “Last year was very successful, so this year, we have increased our exhibit space significantly, and have also added performance art and more interactive exhibits. Like last year, this exhibit is sure to entice more patrons and members to visit our truly original Museum.”

“This new, expanded exhibit from The Erotic Museum mirrors the trend of our overall convention for 2005,” said Chad Beecher, vice president of marketing & operations for Erotica LA. “By adding new elements such as alternative artistic expression, attendees can experience first-hand what erotic art is all about.”

The exhibit space will house many talented artists as well as informative guest speakers. Highlights include:
