The AllTogether Clubhouse was a homecoming show celebrating the history of queer culture in New York, from nightlife and the erotic arts to uncompromising activism. The exhibition focused on the Foundation's archive, presenting works by pioneering artists combined with contemporary and younger artists whose work and practice revolved around New York's queer histories, as well as New York artists whose works was in dialogue with Tom of Finland for the first time.


The exhibition space was activated daily from noon to late through an extensive programming of talks, screenings, performances, and concerts, connecting generations of local figures, including LGBTQIA+ organizations and associations, who have shaped and borne witness to the ever-changing New York queer scene over the past decades.

The AllTogether Clubhouse exhibition and events program was free to the public with registration.


DIESEL has again partnered with Tom of Finland Foundation and The Community on a special Pride 2023 capsule collection. The drop amplifies the message of freedom of expression, sexuality and individualism — in this case, specifically celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community — that has always been a key pillar for the brand. Designed for all genders, the collection is a celebration of the queer community's indomitable sense of pride.

Project Partners

Tom of Finland Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1984 by Durk Dehner and Tom of Finland. As Tom had established worldwide recognition as the master of homoerotic art, the Foundation's original purpose was to preserve his vast catalog of work. Several years later, the scope was widened to offer a safe haven for all erotic art due to rampant discrimination against art that portrayed sexual behavior or generated a sexual response. Today, Tom of Finland Foundation continues to educate the public about the cultural merits of erotic art and promote healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality.
