So, once again I am going to interrupt our usual art history programming to promote an art event in Rochester. This time though, it's all about Haunted Hungerford!
The Hungerford Building is already a popular destination for First Friday, but you have even more reason to come next weekend! Here's what's happening October 2nd and 3rd, 5pm-9pm.
Over a dozen studios got together to create this delightfully disturbing event featuring lots of themed activities for you to experience.
Explore the whole building as you visit:
Basement - GruntWerk & Khaos by Design - Spooky year 'round with bone jewelry
Stuidio 150 - Bohan Sather Custom Apparel - Screen print your own Haunted Hungerford-inspired tee
Studio 157 - Grassroots Gallery presents the Ghost Factory - Resurrecting the spirits of our building's history
Studio 205 - Osiris Tattoo Gallery - Featuring the Ghost Buster-inspired poster art by D.john_Rochester
Studio 225 - Genesee Libby - Spectral Photobooth. Instant analog portraits may reveal the mysteries of the undead!
Studio 242 - Cat Clay - Awaken the Totum, introducing The Knotty Owl's new jewelry line plus Cat Clay's ever-creepy ceramics and a spooky playlist
Studio 258 - Blue Toucan Studio - Rip off heads in AMPUTHEATRE: the worlds goriest board game!
Studio 258 - Creativ Framing with Blue Toucan Studio - Get an exclusive look at the Imaginary Findings of the Elusive Adventurer, Camden Flannery
Studio 316 - Aslam Fine Art - Featuring a selection of dark sculpture
Studio 364 - Lighthouse Tattoo - Hand-printed t-shirts and a screening of The Nightmare on Elm Street series
Studio 368 - Metal Some Art - Design your own metal belt buckle
And once you're done with the tricks, get ready for some treats!
Studio 148 - Eat Me Ice Cream - A dark twist: squid ink soft serve
Studio 154 - Brown Sugar Pastry - Haunted bakery with ghoulish treats, ghastly delights and a witch's brew!
Then see everyone come together in The Night Gallery. Studio 244 is transformed into an exhibit of the creepy and curious featuring the artwork of Haunted Hungerford studios. You can purchase pieces throughout the night, or wait until 9pm for the lights to come on.
Don't forget to come in costume! There will be a costume contest in studio 225 and the winners will get special gifts from the Haunted Hungerford studios! Follow on facebook and instagram and "like" your favorites to vote after the event.
There is no admission fee, but please bring a toiletry donation for Sample Soap, which can be delivered to Studio 244 or Studio 242.
Hungerford First-Timer? Here's a pro-tip: parking on First Fridays gets pretty packed, so come early, or come to the Saturday event! Bonus: Saturday will be even creepier as you roam the almost-abandoned hallways of this old factory building. A great kick-off to the Halloween season!
