In $pread magazine's second annual art show, sex workers with an artistic bent step up and tell their stories visually. The show includes art by Annie Sprinkle, Zak Smith, Genevive Zacconi, and Vena Virago, in addition to illustrations and photographs that have appeared in $pread magazine, as well as a special opening night exhibition of hand-decorated dildos by sex workers. At events around the United States and Canada, sex workers have gathered at sex-positive sex toy shops to paint, decorate and possibly mutilate dildos for inclusion in Sex Worker Visions II.

Sponsored events occurred at Early 2 Bed in Chicago, Comes As You Are in Toronto, Adam and Eve sponsored a group of sex workers in Cleveland, and Vibrator.com sponsored a $pread event at Arena Studios in New York.
