Visual AIDS at Folsom Street East

Visual AIDS is a beneficiary of this year's Folsom Street East. As part of the fair's events, Visual AIDS Artist Members, Michael Harwood and Benjamin Fredrickson will present their work at Visual AIDS table. Michael Harwood will display his erotic photography, while Benjamin Fredrickson will set up a Pop-Up Studio during the festivities, where he will take photographs with an 8x10 camera. Stop by and say hello to Michael and Benjamin.

In its 19th year, the Folsom Street East Street Festival, the largest outdoor fetish/kink festival on the East Coast has been bringing the LGBT and Allied BDSM and Kink/Fetish Communities to celebrate our differences and common interests. This year’s theme is “HEROES" and proceeds for the event will benefit two NYC-based non-profit organizations: the New York City Anti-Violence Project (AVP) and Visual AIDS. Folsom Street East salutes the people who make life a little more special, and a little more strange – just by having the courage to be themselves.

The Festival hosts more than forty exhibitors including community groups and commercial businesses that serve our community. Alcoholic refreshments are provided through a Sponsor. There is a Main Stage Show that showcases local and national talent coming from within the LGBT and Allied Fetish Community.
