LA Leather Pride is a week-long series of events including music, art, and film, dedicated to promotion and celebration of the Leather and Fetish community leading up to the Mr. Los Angeles Leather Contest, which is now in its 24th year!

Come celebrate this unique event in your favorite singlet or team uniform, while mingling and raising money for Tom of Finland Foundation and The Mr. LA Leather Bear 2024 travel fund. In association with Bears LA, Tony Vega presents a new fetish/ gear night dedicated to sports enthusiasts and chasers.

As a community organization, SDLBB is focused on welcoming anyone and everyone (18+) who shares a healthy interest in the Leather, Kink, and BDSM lifestyles for social, educational, and community building events. ToFF welcomes the family back home!

Exhibition opening with a program of music and performance. “Like returning to the womb, returning to the place in which I was born has been very inspiring and ignited a whole new chapter, not only in life, but in my writing, my handmade books, painting and performance art.”

Meet the artists from the Tom of Finland Foundation Artist-in-Residence Program.

This street fair an exciting day of music, culture, art, food and fun in Silver Lake.

Reflections in both the literal and symbolic sense. The exhibition will showcase small-scale acrylic ink and felt tip marker portraits exploring body image, the male figure and diverse sexual expression. Tristor has also explored large-scale works in acrylic on paper and canvas over his Tom of Finland Foundation Residency.

Gear up! Black and white combine for one of the sexiest nights of the weekend. Enter the realm of fantasy where you can unleash your inner bad boy. This sexy night of leather and gear features DJs Mohammad and Nina Flowers. A portion of the proceeds benefit Tom of Finland Foundation.

Jack Davey has had solo exhibitions in Belgium and England. This exhibition, in collaboration with Shirley Morales, is his first in the United States. He has also had works in group exhibitions in Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, China (Hong Kong) and Belgium. He has done residencies in France, Switzerland and Italy. 

Featuring artwork by Misael Urquico, Adam de Ville, Larkin Cypher, Brian Smith, Cortney Emerson, Patrick Thai, Frau Sakra, Sebastian Nabel, Barbra Loveless, Carl Alessi, Rev. Steven Johnson Leyba, Kat Philbin, Sean @CRPFCTRY, and Clint Carney.

Exploring intimacy, erotica, sex, sexuality, longing, and desire. Presented by Darin Klein & Friends, it features drawings, paintings, artists’ books, zines, ceramic sculptures, perfume, and fine art prints.

Gautier has an almost fetishistic relationship with the ceramics he creates. His creations are resolutely simple; they are containers. They are not only aimed at ornamentation, but are both functional, imposing, robust and easy to handle.

Haynes’ new body of work focuses on the moment a person is brought into the world. Not the idealized, sanitized birth that is seen (or more pointedly not seen) in art history, but rather the bloody, raw, uncensored labor of it. Haynes continues to subvert the portraiture tradition through her Crowning series.

A relaxed setting to hone your skills. We will be outside at TOM House (weather permitting). Room for 25 artists only in the live session.

The 50th Anniversary gala event salutes the tradition of the Maneuvers Weekends of the past while celebrating the Regiment’s members past and present. Proceeds from the events will be dedicated to replenishing the Regiment Fund for TOM House.

“Just in time for the next stage in the struggles of our collective human evolution in the City of Los Angeles – as what could be a new ground zero of cultural, political and climate catastrophes, both real and imagined. Just as Goya created The Disasters of War, I am here to paint Los Angeles’ total collapse,” says the TOM House Artist-In-Residence.

Total Tattoo: Tell us about Tom of Finland Foundation.

ToFF: Tom and Durk set up the Foundation in 1984, so we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary this year. We’re a nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect, preserve and promote erotic art. All that we do is made possible by the donations we receive. Our doors are open to all, not just the LGBTQ+ community.

Leyba has prepared an evening that is not to be forgotten, showing a total of twenty-three mixed media paintings. Dirty Patti will host the evening, with music provided Indigenous artist and musician Raymond Lafferty, followed by a DJ set from David J of Bauhaus and Love and Rockets. Space is limited, so RSVP your attendance!

The men of the Regiment of the Black & Tans are celebrating in style.

The Regiment is spreading out the festivities for an entire weekend with Maneuvers!

"I want to encourage all who read this that Pete continues to need our financial and emotional assistance. I personally can tell you that I am unsure if I would of had the willpower to go through what he has already. He looks great, feels okay but is now once again having to undertake more hellish treatment in order to survive."

-Durk Dehner, 3rd March
