Monsters Menagerie

Friday, October 2 – 30, 

Opening Reception: First Friday, October 2, 6–10pm
Closing Bash: The Monsters Ball, October 30, 2026

Step into the shadows and explore the weird, the wicked, and the wonderfully warped at Alwun House’s Monsters Menagerie — a haunted gallery experience like no other.

This juried exhibit unleashes the imaginations of artists from across the Valley and beyond, revealing creatures of darkness, gothic nightmares, political fiends, and surreal horrors hiding just beneath the surface of our everyday lives. From eerie elegance to grotesque spectacle, you’ll discover a diverse collection of provocative, uncanny, and visually stunning works in every medium.

Join us on First Friday, October 2, from 6–10pm for our Opening Night Reception, where you can meet the artists, enjoy spine-tingling sounds, and sip on sinister spirits in the company of fellow art-lovers and night creatures.

Then, on the most haunted night of the year…

Don your most monstrous attire and return for the closing night blowout —

👹 The Monsters Ball – October 30

A night of outlandish costumes, dancing, devilish delights, and all manner of monstrous mischief.

Whether you’re a fan of horror, satire, surrealism, or just love a good Halloween scare — Monsters Menagerie is the perfect place to lose (or find) your soul this October.
