“The Devil’s in the Details”

Image
Weavings, INK Art Gallery will be hosting a Halloween-themed show with a kind of a 50's, 60's sensibility – "Creepy" and "Eerie," easy on the "Vampirella" and "Tales from the Crypt," "Nightmare Before Christmas" as opposed to "Nightmare on Elm Street." More "Ghostbusters," less "Chain Saw." Kind of "Psycho" lite. Family friendly chills, in originals and prints, 2D and 3D. Dates of show: October 25 – November 15, 2013 Opening Reception: Fourth Friday, October 25, 5-9 pm Free trick-or-treat bags full of prints and other goodies to the first 24 family units! This is a really good group show and lots of fun! The address is 208 Hellam St. in Wrightsville, PA
