Over two nights—Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, from 5 to 9 pm—27 artists will showcase light, sound, performance, and sculptural installations inspired by Halloween folklore, art history, and medieval architecture. Set in a haunted house-style maze within the Bread & Salt galleries, the exhibition will take viewers on a journey from the eerie to the playful, with scenes and performances that evoke fear, satire, and curiosity.
