In $pread magazine’s second annual art show, sex workers with an artistic bent step up and tell their stories visually. The show includes art by Annie Sprinkle<, Zak Smith, Genevive Zacconi, and Vena Virago, in addition to illustrations and photographs that have appeared in $pread magazine, as well as a special opening night exhibition of hand-decorated dildos by sex workers.
At events around the United States and Canada, sex workers have gathered at sex-positive sex toy shops to paint, decorate and possibly mutilate dildos for inclusion in Sex Worker Visions II. Sponsored events occurred at Early 2 Bed in Chicago, Comes As You Are in Toronto, Adam and Eve sponsored a group of sex workers in Cleveland, and Vibrator.com sponsored a $pread event at Arena Studios in New York.
