🦇 The 4th Annual Bat Show 2026: Nocturnal Emissions & Holiday Havoc!
December 17, 2026 | 111 Minna Gallery, San Francisco
Winston Smith's Studio Fallout and legendary punk record label Alternative Tentacles are teaming up once again for the fourth annual Bat Show!
Featuring a retrospective of Winston's original Alternative Tentacles bat emblem, created in the early 1980s, alongside a wild assortment of new interpretations by artists from near and far, Nocturnal Emissions celebrates more than four decades of punk art, DIY culture, and creative mischief.
From painting and collage to sculpture and everything in between, participating artists have been invited to take Winston's iconic bat and make it their own.
Join us at 111 Minna Gallery for an evening of art, old friends, new faces, and a little holiday havoc!
BONUS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1–6 PM: Grab a coffee with Winston and Chick at Red Door Coffee and help us bring down the show!
Presented by Studio Fallout + Alternative Tentacles
