[Art Erotica 2019](http://octopusclub.org/event/arterotica-2019/) is an annual donation-based art auction with adult themes where "100% of the money spent at the event will go directly to this fund, which assists our friends and neighbors living with HIV and AIDS in times of crisis, helping them to pay for food, rent, utilities, eyeglasses, and even medicine not covered by Medicaid.".

I visited in 2018 and set a goal for myself to produce and donate art for 2019. I'm very pleased to say I met that goal! The pieces were auctioned off for a good cause. I'm looking forward to putting more of my art out in the world soon.
