Description:

Sex Sells was a silent auction fundraiser featuring new work by over eighty Vancouver-based artists working in drawing, photography, painting, mixed media, sculpture, text, and music. The public was invited to browse the works slated for auction during a week-long Sexhibition curated by Judy Radul that culminated in a “Climactic Gala Sextravaganza.” The evening featured music by Don Chow and a raffle of items donated by businesses ranging from bookstores, to tattoo parlours, piercing parlours, and restaurants. 

Participating artists generously donated half of their proceeds to Western Front’s artistic program. 

Video documentation is available upon request.
