THE ARROYO ARTS COLLECTIVE presents

Hellmouth

Curated by Leonard Greco

Many a morning I awaken with a fiery knot in the pit of my stomach. It frequently feels we are live in dire times and I know many share my dread. That being the case I’ve invited a few friends to jump right into the Hellmouth and showcase works that explore the depths of existential angst.

The results are poignant, beautifully charged and frequently quite amusing. Much gratitude to the artists:
Jodi Bonassi
Jeanie Frias
Jeff Iorillo
Tom Lasley
Randi Matushevitz
Dakota Noot
Dania Strong

Upon receiving the submissions I’ve been struck with how the artists of Hellmouth are poets of the shadows, frequently committed to exploring the dark existential crevices of being.
More sensible artists may resist this oracle’s call but like Orpheus these seekers cannot resist that final backwards glance. I trust you will be as moved as I have been.

Opening Night Reception: Saturday, October 14, 2017, 7-10pm
