Abend Gallery invites you to step into a world of classic Halloween frights and delights with the exhibition "Monster Mash." This show is a celebration of old school Halloween monsters and aesthetics, bringing to life the iconic characters and imagery that have defined the spookiest holiday of the year.

Visitors can expect to encounter a ghoulish gathering of familiar faces: jack o'lanterns, Dracula, headless horsemen, Frankenstein, werewolves, ghosts, ghouls, haunted houses, witches, and boogeymen. The artworks on display range from the humorous and quirky to the genuinely spooky, all dripping with iconic All Hallows' Eve atmosphere.

"Monster Mash" serves as an exciting tie-in with Drawtober, the popular art challenge created by Timothy Von Rueden (Vonnart) alongside his hosts Josh Von Rueden, Sang Lam, Dustin Panzino(inkwell), Rin Marks, and Babs Webb. This connection adds an extra layer of creativity and community engagement to the exhibition.

The show is curated by the husband-and-wife team of David Ethridge, curator of Abend Gallery and Director of Gallery 1261, and dark fantasy illustrator Babs Webb, who is also participating in the show. Their collaborative effort brings a unique perspective to this Halloween-themed exhibition.

Whether you're a fan of classic movie monsters, eerie atmospheres, or the whimsical side of Halloween, "Monster Mash" offers something for everyone. It's an opportunity to see how contemporary artists interpret and reimagine the classic monsters and aesthetics that have defined Halloween for generations.

Experience this spellbinding exhibition at Abend Gallery's Golden Triangle location.
