About this Event

About Exhibition: On All Hallows Eve, legend says the veil between worlds is thinnest, inviting creatures from beyond to cross over. Across the globe, every culture has its own mythical beings, such as Mexico’s Chupacabra, Russia’s Baba Yaga, and California’s Fresno Nightcrawler and Bigfoot, to name a few. Today, we celebrate these legends through art, costume, and decoration.

Are you inspired by creatures of myth? Apply now to showcase your work in our gallery and share your vision of legendary beings with the world!
