    Haunting Exhibition On View

    September 24 – October 23

    Haunting can be defined as “poignant and evocative, difficult to ignore or forget”. This spooky season, we invited our artists to make some “haunting” artwork by exploring mythology, fairytales, history, and imagination. Whether they are capturing the eerie essence of the nighttime forest, highlighting the creatures that lurk in the shadows, or exploring histories that humans have forgotten, we invited them to submit works that possess the imagination! 

    Stop in and see what they have created!

    Step into the mysterious and magical at Sussex County Arts & Heritage Council’s Haunting Exhibition Reception and Halloween Party on Saturday, October 11 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM at the Spring Street Gallery.

    On view from September 24 through October 23, Haunting invites visitors to explore themes of myth, folklore, memory, and the supernatural through a wide range of imaginative artworks. The exhibition offers a powerful journey through the spectral and the surreal—where forgotten histories, flickers of fantasy, and eerie beauty collide.

    Reception Highlights:

    • Family-friendly Halloween costumes encouraged!
    • Trick-or-treat candy, cookies, and light refreshments
    • Meet the artists and explore spooky artwork
    • Free and open to the public (donations welcomed)

    This immersive reception blends a festive Halloween spirit with the emotional depth of visual storytelling. Expect work in all mediums and styles—from haunting abstractions to ghostly realism—each piece echoing with mood, mystery, and imagination. All artworks are appropriate for all ages.

    Whether you're drawn to the poetic, the paranormal, or simply the power of great art, make sure you come and see SCAHC’s Haunting Exhibition.
