About Academy of Fetish Arts

BDSM playspace and education center in Cleveland's AsiaTown neighborhood. The 2,000-square-foot main dungeon and multiple special-use playrooms are fully equipped, with a changing room, lockers, conference classroom, and a social lounge with break room rounding out the space. Saturday nights are the regular play parties; a monthly Rope Group meets Sundays from 2–5pm. Membership is required — first-timers arrive at 6pm for an application, government ID check, and a mandatory orientation class at 6:30. The Academy has run 71+ classes, workshops, and seminars covering safety, technique, and special interests, with attendance ranging from 10 to 70 members per session. It's a registered nonprofit built around education as much as play.
