Whether you can whack one out in a minute or you like to doodle for hours, we want you to give us a down and dirty HAND JOB.

The Laird is proud to present Hand Jobs, a new art exhibition to celebrate male sexuality and fetish as part of A Week of Leather and Fetish (AWOL) 2017.

Teaming up with Down An' Dirty and Jimmy Twin (winner, Men on Men 2017), we're inviting artists to submit themed hand-drawn works in greyscale or black & white.

Artworks consist of donated pieces from local artists, submitted on quality white A4 paper. Patrons to The Laird can purchase works for $30 each with proceeds benefitting David Williams Fund, who provide assistance to people living with HIV.

Entry is free, with 3 of the winning entries becoming the face of an inaugural Down An' Dirty Cruise Card, as well as being featured on aweekofleather.com.  The winning artist, as well as the runner-up’s, will also receive Dean’s Art vouchers (1^st prize $50, 2^nd prize $30, 3^rd prize $20).

To enter, simply drop your entry and signed form to The Laird on Sunday 6^th August. Good quality, white A4 paper should be used. No framing is required (leave that to us) but please place your work in an envelope or sheet protector.
