Sexy Trippy Holiday Market - Two Days, Two Cities
Back for our third year, the Sexy Trippy Holiday Art Market burns bright with booths by new friends, artists and olde-time favorites. For the first time ever we will be hosting two events. One will be in Chapel Hill on our rooftop (Sat 12/3) and the other will be held the following day at Lump in Raleigh (Sun 12/4). This year’s offerings represent a variety of limited edition and handmade products and artwork. Stuff your own stockings with fun stuff like realistic ceramic cigarettes, poetry books, goth-inspired jewelry, flint-knapped knives, painted clothing, cryptic t-shirts, and beautifully printed risographs and screenprints. We’ll have live music and hope to see a lot of friends.

Mixed Media drawings by Skully Gustafson, on view at Attic 506
Debuting this second Friday of March (March 12 6-9pm) at our space at Attic 506 : Two mixed media works by artist Skully Gustafson ‘Ride on Butterfly’ and ‘Connectors’ which both appear in The Concern magazine issue 3, out now. These works will be up through the end of April.
Skully is currently based in Chapel Hill.
“My current work is centered on paintings that mix figuration and abstraction as a way to represent identity and the fluctuation of the self. I juxtapose images, symbols, and figures to show the way individuals are influenced, fortified, or defined by meanings outside themselves. The identities in the work shift from ideas of public presentation and private constructions, the way an individual is many different and overlapping people and performs, distorts, and shifts between personas.” - Skully Gustafson
