A TRIBUTE TO THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

In the past we've had our musical guests perform live DJ scores to horror montage videos. This year we thought we'd shake things up and present a special 30 minute tribute set to the iconic movie Return Of The Living Dead. Strap in and enjoy an energetic score to one of the best zombie comedies ever!

SET TIME: 6:30-7:00

LIVE ART PRESENTATION

The Live Art presentation will feature multiple artists showing at the gallery. During a timed set, the artists will conjure up a piece of art while the audience watches and listens to the live score provided by our musical guests. This mesmerizing presentation is one of the most unique experiences to watch.

SET TIME: 8:30-9:00

SPECIAL ARTIST SHOWCASE

The gallery features a special artist showcase based on a theme and this year's theme is "The Void." Artists include a piece based on that theme and often come up with a brand new piece for this showcase. They also add a story to explain the piece. What is the Void? What lives in the Void? What does it feel like in the Void? Come see what they show us.

Photos are free. Tips for our photographer are greatly appreciated.

Photos will be posted on online by Monday, July 1st. Check back here for the link.

COLLECTABLE ART CARDS

This year we are starting a new tradition by adding collectable art cards. These tarot-inspired cards will feature different designs — from different artists — each year. Consider these your starter pack.
