CALL FOR ARTISTS: 2019 Art Ghoullery: Black Cats and Vampire Bats at the Rourke

”The Art Ghoullery: Black Cats & Vampire Bats” is love-letter to the scariest of holidays and brings frightening fringe art back to The Rourke with the assistance of fantastic artists – both local and remote. The interpretation of motif ranges from cute to creepy, while the diversity of visual language on display creates a macabre melody sure to delight both the sinister and silly.

As an artist, you are cordially invited to submit up to three pieces of art to The Art Ghoullery: Black Cats & Vampire Bats, which will take place from October 4 until November 2. Art Ghoullery: Black Cats & Vampire Bats and is meant as a celebration of Halloween, both familiar and frightening. Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that reflect upon their own real or imaginary experiences on All Hallow’s Eve. Pieces can be creepy, kooky, mysterious, or spooky, but are encouraged to remain PG13 or under and retain some semblance of whimsy.

Exhibition Dates

The Art Ghoullery will be on display from Friday 4 October through Sunday 2 November 2019. A Masquerade Reception will be held at the Rourke Art Gallery + Museum on Friday 25 October where we shall announce the jury awards and crown the anointed Hallow Court.
