Hello Artists,

We are pleased to announce that our erotic art show, SafeWord, is back for 2026. As in past events, this will be a one weekend only, ticketed event. Opening nights are Friday, February 13th and Saturday, February 14th, 2026.

If you are interested in participating please submit your application by November 16th, 2025. We ask for up to 10 examples of your work, however it does not have to be the piece you plan to show. The more images you submit, the better our jury can see your work. If your portfolio does not contain themes of erotic art it is very important to use the space provided in the form to explain your idea and intention for the piece you plan to create. Due to the limited space of the gallery, artists will only be able to show one piece. This event will be juried by an anonymous panel. Acceptance letters will be sent out by November 30th, 2025. 

If accepted, we ask for a fee of $25.00 to secure your spot in the show. See Artist Guidelines at www.oacmn.com for guidance on basic FAQs.

Submission deadline - November 16th, 2025
Acceptance letters sent - November 30th, 2025
Art drop off - February 7th, 2026
