Hello ghouls and goblins! Art Ghoullery is back!
”Art Ghoullery VIII: The Infinite Void” is the eighth iteration of an annual exhibition dedicated to the scariest of holidays. It brings frightening fringe art back to The Rourke with the assistance of fantastic artists—both local and remote.
Art Ghoullery VIII: The Infinite Void explores the deep, dark, and unimaginable things hiding in the unknown.

This year's Art Ghoullery's curator/juror is Mark Elton!
​

The Masquerade Reception will be held on Saturday 25 October from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
  This event is free and open to the public; all ages are welcome!
  Refreshments will be provided.

     This event is presented in part by the generous support from Silver Goat Media.

     The Juror’s Choice and People's Choice awards will be presented during the Masquerade Reception.
