Visceral Alchemy celebrates transformation in its most personal and enduring form. This exhibition explores the powerful act of creating—or receiving—artwork that lasts a lifetime. Tattooers are constantly creating. They regularly translate deeply personal ideas into original works of art, blending in their own style and aesthetic. Their process is both collaborative and expressive.

Once a symbol of counterculture, tattooing has evolved into a widely embraced and respected art form. Today, many tattooers are formally trained artists who maintain vibrant creative practices beyond their occupation. This exhibition brings together a group of artists to examine the relationship between their professional and personal art forms. Could one exist without the other? This curated invitational offers a rare glimpse into the fine art dimension of tattooing, inviting viewers to consider the lasting impact of this art form and industry.

The opening reception is Friday, May 29 from 5-7pm. **See the artists in action Saturday, May 30, from 11am-6pm with live tattooing out of The Launchpad (walk-up, first come, first-served, 18+). On display through July, 3. The gallery is open weekdays from 10am-5pm.
