Jump into the mini world of bugs and make art that crawls, flutters, and sparkles! Paint bright butterfly wings, build beetles with shiny patterns, and create wiggly worms and busy ants with collage, clay, and mixed materials. Try stamping, splattering, cutting, gluing, and drawing as you explore spots, stripes, and wild nature designs. Make bug masks, garden scenes, and tiny critter sculptures—then take home a collection of creepy-crawly masterpieces!

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.

Back for her second performance at the Bross!

Hailed by The New Yorker as "one of the most distinctive guitar players of her generation", Portland, Oregon based Marisa Anderson channels the history of the guitar and stretches the boundaries of tradition.
