To Build A Museum details the academic and professional path that lead me to construct a museum.

My dissertation for my Doctor of Philosophy in Erotology was phenomenological. It was experienced rather than qualitative or quantitative. It emphasized sexual education through art. From the initial design until the facility’s activation, there were numerous steps involved. After many years, I made the decision to finally record the voyage that served as the impetus for my subsequent professional activities. To Build A Museum will encompass curatorial and facility design, integrated artist engagements, strategic community partnerships, and educational programming.

Promoting an understanding and appreciation of erotic ephemera, film, fine art, and literature that provides access, exploration, and expression without judgment; fostering educational resources related to emotional, mental, physical, and sexual health; and the cultivation of equality, diversity, and inclusivity for all is the mission of this ongoing project. My hope is that the documentation provided will inspire others to strengthen their communities via artistic creativity, collaboration, and exploration.
