Offering a New Venue for LGBTQ Artists Creating Art That Features the Male Form, Artist Submissions Are Now Being Accepted.
HUDSON VALLEY, NY – BARNWOOD, an exhibition of homoerotic drawings, photographs, paintings, ceramics and other artworks from artists based in the Hudson Valley, New York City and beyond, has announced that it is returning in 2021. Following the success of the premiere event last fall, organizers are hosting three new editions of the gay erotic art show and sale, with the spring show happening April 30 – May 2, 2021 in Ulster Park, NY.
Happening 90 minutes north of New York City, BARNWOOD takes place in a rustic Ulster County hay barn whose hand-hewn beams date back to the 1850’s. Works are displayed on hog fencing and other agricultural fixtures through the space. Organized by Pink Stallion Events, the show and sale is a celebration of the male form from nude to lewd, dedicated to two things: promoting the talents of our exhibiting artists and pricing their work affordably so that guests can support them.
BARNWOOD is now accepting submissions for this year’s shows, and artists encouraged to submit their works online at PinkStallionEvents.com/BARNWOOD. The deadline for the spring show is March 19, 2021.
With no entry fees and a low twenty-five percent commission fee, BARNWOOD supports artists that have few venues to showcase and sell their homoerotic works. BARNWOOD’s debut show in October 2020 included works from 25 artists from our region and from around the world. During the first edition of the show, more than 200 original pieces were available for sale from renowned and emerging artists like Sedgwick Guth, Richard Taddei, William Noonan, Nathan Gwirtz, Benjamin Seamen, Scribbles Jensen, Jay Blotcher, Luke Benicase and many others.
“BARNWOOD is a unique new venue showcasing gay art and artists who’s work has been confined to the shadows and underground for too long,” explains Keith Batten, whose art was featured in the inaugural BARNWOOD show. “The rustic barn enhances the eroticism and primal feelings of sexuality so often expressed in the artworks. This is an exciting new art space destination, away from the confines of urban galleries.”
For 2021, the producers have added new opportunities to meet select artists as well as special times where art will be created on-site from live models. To support social distancing efforts, attendees must purchase tickets for timed ticketed entry into the show and masks are required.
