PLEASE KNOCKÂ is a community for erotic art lovers founded in 2020. We provide a forum where artists can display their work free from the suffocating censorship due to social media restrictions. Our community has grown to include volunteer writers, event coordinators, editors, artists and members of the erotic art scene. Unlike television and film, where certain levels of eroticism can be explored, the internet categorizes most erotic art as pornographic. These extreme constraints punish creators and erase great artworks. In response, PLEASE KNOCKÂ created the Erotic Art Fair. The fair features vendor booths showcasing vintage smut magazines, books, antique erotic collectibles and novelties. We welcome a lineup of prominent artists that craft sexually themed handmade art exclusively for our fair.

Vintage Porn Screening: from the collection of Greasy Cinema. Sourced from obscure 8mm film loops, digitized, restored and presented for your enjoyment as they were meant to be viewed - surrounded by smut!
Huge Backyard Blow job installation: Our backdrop wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the legendary London-based bookshop Ram Books and set designer Nicholas Des Jardins.
