Bread & Salt and curator/artist Jason Sherry come together to present an experimental Halloween art experience of multiple installations only on Friday, October 27th, and Saturday, October 28 from 5 PM - 9 PM. This group show of over 20 artists will feature light, sound, and sculptural installations that 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 the horrors of technology – 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. Donations are accepted for entry. Artists Included: Andrew Alcasid, Brian & Ryan, Rob Crow, Brian Dick, Ryan Griffith, Matt Hebert, Lindy Ivey, Jones Von Jonestein, Neil Kendricks, Wendell Kling, Clayton Llewelyn, Jean Lowe, Aubrey Mejia, Margaret Noble, Trista Roland, Jason Sherry, Evelyn Walker, Allison Wiese, Nate Vaughn, Joe Yorty Related links: Bread and Salt on Instagram
