Active Role in Erotic Art Exhibitions
Wetaish is an online publication that specializes in erotic art. It covers all forms of visual art related to human sexuality, from paintings to photography to sculpture, and frequently includes written articles and interviews about the subject. Beyond publishing, Wetaish frequently participates in or organizes erotic art exhibitions and events. These real-world activities help the magazine extend its influence beyond print and digital media, creating spaces where artists and audiences can interact directly.
The first erotic art exhibition organized by Wetaish was held in Paris in 2018. The show featured works by 50 international artists who were selected through a competitive submission process. The event was open to the public and attracted more than 200 visitors each day. During this time, visitors could view the artworks, read the accompanying descriptions, and speak with the artists themselves. After the opening ceremony, Wetaish hosted a discussion panel with several participants. This allowed the audience to gain insight into the creative processes behind the work and hear from the artists' own mouths why they chose their medium and subject matter.
Exhibitions like these are important for several reasons. First, they create space for artists to explore new ideas and techniques while receiving feedback from a wider audience. Second, they foster community around sensual creativity. Third, they bring together different kinds of people who share a common interest in erotic art.
They provide opportunities for dialogue between those involved in the production and consumption of erotic artwork.
Wetaish has since participated in several other similar exhibitions. In New York City in 2020, for example, the magazine co-hosted an exhibition with another publication that focused on black and brown artists working in the field. The show included paintings, sculptures, photographs, and videos featuring non-traditional subjects such as queer bodies or disability-related themes. It drew attention not only from art critics but also from activists interested in promoting diversity within the arts. Similarly, last year, Wetaish organized an online gallery showcasing works by emerging artists based in Japan. Many of these pieces were digital, exploring how technology is changing our understanding of intimacy and desire.
These real-world activities help Wetaish extend its influence beyond print and digital media, creating spaces where artists and audiences can interact directly. By participating in events like this, the magazine establishes itself as a cultural hub for erotic art, fostering community and dialogue around sensual creativity.
