Open Now Through November 1: Dark Art Show
Join Art 634 as we celebrate the things that go bump in the night with the annual Dark Art Show. Step into the shadows of Art 634’s annual Dark Art Show, where darkness reigns and creativity thrives. This captivating show delves into the mysterious, the macabre, and the provocative, showcasing artwork that challenges the boundaries of the eerie and the enigmatic.
Our art shows are free to attend.
Saturday, November 7th - Time: An Art Show
Time: An Art Show invites artists to explore the layered complexities of time - not as a fixed reality, but as a construct shaped by perception, culture, and emotion. Works reflect how time influences mental health: the weight of the past tied to depression, the uncertainty of the future linked to anxiety, and the fragile balance of living in the present.
Through painting, sculpture, installation, and multimedia, Time: An Art Show asks - how does our relationship with time define experience, and how can art reveal new ways of seeing it?
Help us open Time: An Art Show on Saturday, November 7th from 6pm to 9pm. Our art shows are free to attend and are accompanied by live music and light refreshments.
