Haunted Basement

DREAMS & NIGHTMARES is an art show that revels in the imagination of our subconscious. In the battle between light and dark we don't always choose the path we walk at night. And sometimes the line between dream and nightmare is nebulous. We’re looking for artists to submit works that display their viewpoint or relationship with a dream, a nightmare, or their confluence. Though Catacomb Collective is known for horror (Haunted Basement) this event is not a haunt and we are not limiting the show to that genre. We welcome artists to interpret the theme as they are inspired to exemplify it. All subjects and styles are welcome.

Join us on June 21st and 22nd at Bumbling Fools Mead

What to Expect

The Haunted Basement is a basement, it's deliciously moist. Expect strong smells, physical contact, and projectile liquids. You may get very messy, you may have to crawl, and you may find yourself in a confined space with something horrible.

What to Wear

The Haunted Basement is a great place to take a date. However, it is a bad idea to show up in nice clothes. They will get dirty. Make sure your shoes are closed toed. Don't wear heels.

What to Bring

Make sure you bring a valid ID. Leave your bags at home, if you don't need it, don't bring it. Also bring a good attitude, prepare to scream, laugh, and for your skin to crawl.
