Gallery Statement:
"To support and encourage emerging erotic artists and to promote tolerance and freedom of expression"

The promotion and sale of both new and established artists is facilitated through the art gallery at Beaumont Hall Studios.
The Guild of Erotic Artists is a non-profit organisation, supported by annual fees from its members. The artists who support our efforts dedicate themselves both financially and as volunteers enabling the Guild to present an impressive number of activities on a limited budget.
The work represented ranges from unknown artists to classic images by Paul John Ballard, Ray Leaning, Ken Clarke and more. The Guild's success has exceeded expectations in providing a place to expand the commercial value and exposure of erotic art.

The Guild hosts social events throughout the year to raise funds and to provide a sense of community for supporters of erotic art. An example is the monthly Erotic Event Days which promotes and exhibits erotic art in a very popular party setting and encourages members of the public to join in and try their hand at artwork themselves. It raises funds to support the Guild's activities at the same time. The Studios provides artists with a social environment in which to network, exhibit and store their work in secure premises and most importantly, the opportunity to buy and sell works. Parties, Auctions, Stage Sets are all part of the planned events.

A PERMANENT GALLERY OF EROTIC ART
One of the Guild's goals was to establish a permanent Erotic Art exhibition that will display a stimulating range of work in a setting suitable to the importance it deserves. This goal has been realised in 'Beaumont Hall Studios' at St Albans. The achievement of this goal required the support of all who have an interest in erotic art, whether for personal satisfaction or to promote tolerance and freedom of expression. With your continued support the Guild will promote a deeper, healthier and more tolerant appreciation of human sexuality by opening an exhibition of erotic art that will never close: Beaumont Hall Studios.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
Continued support from individuals is crucial to the Guild's survival and continued growth. Visible community support will greatly aid our members in attracting corporate support. Every pound contributed and new membership will ensure the future protection of the right to exhibit and view whatever art one chooses.
Sponsorship and Donations of all sizes are always welcome, including networking with your friends and business contacts to encourage further support. Donations can be earmarked for specific purposes.

The Guild's greatest sustenance, however, comes from its loyal members. Only by having a committed and active membership can we feel secure that our promise to uphold the goals of the Guild will be sustained for always. Aside from providing support, members create a sense of community and camaraderie with others who share their interests. As a member you will receive the Guild's monthly updates which will keep you informed of all Guild activities and events. Members will also receive discounts on event admissions and Guild merchandises.

Finally, with our growing rosta of activities, members are more important than ever. In the future we hope to expand our activities to new areas throughout the world. All new members are welcome and will find whatever work they may be asked to do stimulating and a great way to socialise and network. We especially need volunteers with specialised skills in marketing, fund-raising, design, gallery installation.
As a founder of the Guild of Erotic Artists, I want to give you my personal assurance that our dedication to the cause of preserving erotic art and educating the general public as to its importance is both intense and unending. I look forward to working together with you and the many others that will help strengthen and expand the vision I established with co-founders, Paul John Ballard, Ken Clarke, Andrew Western-Smith and Ray Leaning.
