From the organizers: Bread & Salt and curator/artist Jason Sherry come together to present an experimental Halloween art experience of multiple installations for one night only on Saturday, October 29 from 5 PM - 10 PM. This group show of over 16 artists will feature light, sound, and sculptural installations which run the gamut of Halloween lore. Scenes and performances will take audiences from the horrifying to the campy. Each experience will be set together in the old brick room of the Bread and Salt galleries and laid out in a haunted house-styled maze. From nightmares of the natural world to a death disco surround sound experience – this project will evolve throughout the night and offer audiences a taste of fear and satire as told by the experimental artist community of San Diego. Cost is free but donations are accepted. Artists Included: Brian & Ryan, Max Daily, Brian Dick, Matt Dunn, Matthew Hebert, Adrian Huth, Lindy Ivey, Wendell Kling, Margaret Noble, Andy Ralph, Jason Sherry, Nate Tait, Jones Von Jonestein, Evelyn Channing Walker, and Joe Yorty.
