Submissions closed
Artist submissions for Erotic Art Week TT 2026 are now closed. The selected 2026 artists are listed above.
The Erotic Art Week T&T Committee invites proposals from visual and performing artists interested in exploring and exhibiting works of erotic art.
Thirst can be read widely — as desire, longing, drought, appetite, ambition, survival, celebration or refusal. We are looking for contemporary works that explore erotica in earnestness and honesty, delving into the under-explored local vernacular of erotica.
- 2D and 3D work
- Performances
- Short film and video
- Spoken word and poetry
- Literature
- Photography
- Innovative uses of new technology
- Advertising
- Artistic merit
- Mastery or a high degree of experimentation in technique, and work that addresses the challenge of provoking sexual thirst rather than presenting the pornographic.
- Relevance
- A unique approach to the theme that sheds new light on erotica in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean.
- Feasibility
- The scope should be compatible with EAW's resources, with clear plans for installing and maintaining the work for the duration of the festival.
Closing date: 31 August 2026
Notification of selected artists: 4 September 2026. Foreign applicants may be fast-tracked to allow for transportation arrangements.
