Dirty Show 27

Description

Dirty Show® - Erotic Art Exhibition - Detroit, MI
For over a quarter-century, the Dirty Show® has proudly stood as North America's largest and most celebrated exhibition of erotic art. What began as an underground art show in Detroit has evolved into an internationally recognized cultural phenomenon, showcasing hundreds of provocative works across a diverse range of artistic mediums from established and emerging artists around the world.
More than an art exhibition, the Dirty Show® is a fully immersive experience where art, performance, and uninhibited self-expression collide. World-class burlesque, boylesque, drag, and variety performers bring the stage to life, while unexpected encounters and interactive experiences keep the excitement flowing throughout the venue.
Drawing an eclectic mix of artists, art enthusiasts, free spirits, and the curious, the Dirty Show® has become a beloved Detroit tradition and a destination for visitors from around the globe. With annual attendance numbering in the thousands, the exhibition continues to celebrate artistic freedom, diversity, and the beauty of human sexuality in all its forms.
Now entering its 27th year, the Dirty Show® remains as daring, unapologetic, and relevant as ever—challenging conventions, championing creative expression, and providing a platform for artists who dare to push boundaries.
Twenty-seven years of art, passion, and provocation. And we're just getting warmed up.

Deadline December 1.
