“Visceral Alchemy” curated by Sarah Overbeck & Matt Hays

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, regularly translating deeply personal ideas into original works of art, blending in their own style and aesthetic. Their process is both collaborative and expressive.

The opening reception is Friday, May 29 from 5-7pm with curator and artist introductions at 5:30pm.

Join the artists for a day of tattooing at The Launchpad! Saturday, May 30 from 11am-6pm (first-come first-served, 18+)
