In the Spirit of INKtober, this exhibition revolves all about art inspired by black and white line work in inks, graphite, ball-point pen, marker, and other tattoo art- inspired work. The Gallery invites artists to explore the world of inking and traditional and contemporary tattoo art with bold designs, quality line work, exploring the variety of ink pen tip widths, textures, depths and designs that can be achieved with ink as the highlighted media!
RECEPTION DATE: October 17th 2026
TIME: 5-8PM
The Inked reception will feature several invited local tattoo artists who will have their work on display in the exhibition. Some tattoo artists will offer paid on-the-spot small tattoos for the night. There will be live activations of inking stations, where you can create your own inked piece of art with the possibility of being featured in the Inktober Show in Gallery 2 in November. The evening will include live music, refreshments, open bar and the coffee shop will be open as well.
