Twenty-five masterpieces by Tom of Finland, an icon of the Gay movement, of fashion and fetish, of art history, and of pop culture in particular. Tom’s powerful, handsome, proud Gay men established a new prototype of physical and mental, almost unattainable, perfection.

TOM House is doing another volunteer gardening day starting at 9a and we would love as much help as we can get. There will be gardeners on site to help facilitate, so all hands are welcome regardless of experience.

This garden gathering will help preserve our Pleasure Park!

Sung Hwan works primarily in ceramics, and with reference to his experiences as a Queer person undergoing military service as a marine in South Korea between 2012-2014, and subsequent research related to the military.

ToFF members joined Ignacio Darnaude on an insightful, cheeky, and thought-provoking tour at the Getty Museum. Experience Darnaude’s commentary and his video tour of the exhibit on Out Magazine‘s website. It is on view at the Getty through 25th May 2025.

The show recounts how Touko Laaksonen evolved into Tom of Finland. The show is about the artist, his art, worldview, joy and pride. The production tells the tale of the talented son of two teachers living in Kaarina who became the most famous Finnish artist in the world. Tom was man who drew his fantasies so real and relatable that millions of men found themselves and their sexuality.

We’re excited to announce our new life drawing session coordinator, Rex Kung! Rex is a long-time participant in our drawing sessions, so he will be no stranger to our regulars. We also want to send a heartfelt thank you to Miguel Angel Reyes for his years of leading these sessions. Thank you, Miguel! Welcome Rex!

Tom of Finland Foundation would like to thank Suzanne Forbes for her generous donation of six original drawings to our permanent collection. Forbes is a Queer, disabled, kinky, sex-positive documentary artist. 

We are very happy to have these works in our possession.
