Things that go BUMP in the night

Every culture has its monsters. Meet them all.

We invite artists of all mediums to submit their work for Things that go BUMP in the night an exhibition that is a multicultural spin on horror and the supernatural. Every culture represented in the community has its own ghosts, demons, tricksters, and spirits. Vietnamese ma, Mexican La Llorona, Korean dokkaebi, West African Anansi, Eastern European vampires — all sharing one haunted gallery space. Artists from the community create their own cultural monster or spirit in their medium of choice.
