Spooky Show 2021: ARTSWIN’s Halloween themed art exhibit
The Arts Council loves Halloween, and to celebrate, we will host our annual Spooky Show this fall, filling the gallery with loads of scary, funny, and whimsical creations during the month of October. While we hope to display many 2D scary scenes and specters on the walls, we want our 3D artists to conjure creepy creatures that can take residence in the gallery for the Spooky Season.
This exhibit is free to enter for both members and non-members. Artists may enter up to two pieces.
