THE APHRODITE GALLERY

The Aphrodite Gallery is located at PASSIONAL Toys (620 South 5th Street) in the heart of the South Street business District. Aphrodite Gallery was created as Philadelphia’s showcase for erotic fine arts in 2003. Stained glass artist Cindi Bartholemew was the first artist showcased and was followed by dozens of other local, national and international artists of acclaim.

Originally located on the 2nd floor above the former Fetishes Boutique (now PASSIONAL Boutique) Aphrodite Gallery featured monthly exhibits and hosted dozens of PASSION 101 fantasy workshops until it moved into the new Sexploratorium building down the street where it continues to grow and evolve.

The erotic themes featured in the gallery have been sexually and visually diverse: from the mainstream photographic erotica of Tony Ward (of Penthouse Magazine and beyond) to abstract three dimensional pieces by feminist students, and most recently the award winning photography of Hataiiia

We're always looking for artists to show/sell their sexy and erotic art! If interested please contact our curators Eric ZONK of ZONK ARTS Gallery or Sam at:

Make sure to include photos of your work or a link to an online portfolio of your work as well as biographical information and geographic availability to the Philadelphia area for our artists’ receptions.
