Inquiring Artists

 

FP Edge - Artist Network

FP Edge represents queer men, women, transgendered, and erotic artists throughout the SF Bay Area who are looking to expand their community exposure and build their name. Because Edge has access to Femina Potens' wide range of contacts, it can connect artists with numerous exhibitions and shows in high volume areas around the city as well as patrons requesting private commissions. Each Edge artist retains a space on the online portfolio site and can also take advantage of consultation services that review work and submission packets and
supply notes on gallery preferences and requirements. Once an artist has entered work into an exhibit, Edge offers promotional and marketing support, both online and in print and distribution, as well as any installation services requested.

Inquiring Venues

 

FP Edge - Artist Network

FP Edge connects artists with SF Bay Area businesses and organizations wishing to showcase or exhibit artworks on a monthly rotation or a more permanent basis through the "rent-to-own"option. These exhibits, combined with Edge's promotional support, will benefit venues on several levels - they beautify a place of business, draw clients or customers inside and also create additional repeat traffic in the case of monthly events or shows. Edge also gives these venues the opportunity to hand-pick work for their specific needs from a pool of diverse queer and erotic artists. Once a show has been requested, FP Edge consultants manage any and all logistics - from artist communication, promotional support and distribution, and professional
installation and de-installation, to any sales or other requests.
Through this process, venues enjoy a hassle-free way to participate in the queer art community and increase public exposure to queer and erotic artists and art while at the same time benefitting their own operations.

FP Edge General Information

 

FP Edge - Artist Network

FP Edge is an artists network run by the Femina Potens Art Gallery
focusing on building relationships and recognition between cutting
edge LGBTQI and Erotic artists and artworks, venues and residents
within the greater queer, feminist, wellness and sex positive
community. Based in the SF Bay Area, Edge connects a diverse range of
artists with the businesses, collectors, exhibitions and other events
searching out lgbt and erotic themed works or commissioned pieces. The
network also offers the support of the Gallery's marketing experience,
artist and venue consultation services and a vast list of specialized
contacts within the West Coast art scene. Strengthening and creating
these community ties helps artists build their names and at the same
time allows organizations to participate more within their
communities. Overall, Edge aims to expose the community to a wider
range of work from within the ever changing queer landscape.
