“The Evil Among Us” Opening Reception (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Something wicked this way comes…. join us in the Gallery as we celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition.

Palette Gallery presents “The Evil Among Us” – a dark art exhibition co-curated with Shane Izykowski. This group show explores the rituals of apotropaic magic and their converse implication of omnipresent dark forces in our daily lives. On view September 10th – November 6th, 2021.

Derived from the Greek “to ward off” and “turn away from”, apotropaic magic is intended to repel harm or evil spirits. These positive occurrences of the occult are more commonplace than we think, deeply embedded in the cultures that surround us. From amulets and spells, to lucky charms and vague superstitions, apotropaic magic is abundant – thus implying that evil is as well.

Mingle with the artists and fellow art lovers as you sip cocktails inspired by the artwork from Bar Manager Trevin Hutchins.

Featuring works by:
Kayleen Dejesus, Lin Fei Fei, Jessi Hardesty, Dianne Hoffman, Stephanie Inagaki, Shane Izykowski, Adam McCarthy, Analy Nakat, Spinestealer, and Chet Zar.
