Mythological Mayhem

Every culture has its own mythology. Tales that have been passed down verbally through the ages and eventually put to writing. Some of those tales are very strange indeed.

Our 2025 Summer show will celebrate these strange tales and mythologies.

Sure, we’re looking forward to seeing new takes on Hercules, Medusa, and many others, but we’re hoping everyone digs deep to find the strangest stories they can locate, or affectionately twist and misinterpret them to create something new.
(A few artists have already mentioned what they have planned, and we can’t wait!)

This is an open call show challenging the Elgin and Chicagoland creative community to share their visions. We are hoping to inspire the same mix of strangely surprising paintings, drawings, and mixed media 3D work that makes people smile while at our shows.
