Being a judge for the Macabre Show was an absolute delight. I was blown away by all the talent on those walls! You guys are doing a fabulous job of increasing awareness of the arts and spreading the joy of creating. Keep up the great work!

So extremely proud of Chele Wells for bringing a metropolitan vibe to our community with “Macabre Spectacle” featuring an exploration of the 7 deadly sins ! Go and support community art and local artists at the ARTrageous Art Hub!

Congratulations to the winners of ARTrageous Art Hub Macabre Art Show! Having seen many of the art submissions in person, it was apparent this would be a difficult contest, as the art work was IMPRESSIVE! The Best in Show winner was amazing. Pictures do NOT do it (or the other art) justice. Folks, if you have a chance to see this artwork, do so. And, like so many other local art shows and displays featuring local artists, the talent is unique and amazing! Be sure and show your support for local shows, displays and artists!

As an artist and member of the Artrageous Art Hub, I've experienced a year filled with growth, support, and collaboration. One of the standout moments for me was hosting my Solo Show, the first of its kind for a member at the Hub. It was a tremendous success, with half of my artwork finding new homes. This experience not only validated my work but also demonstrated the strong community and broad audience that the Art Hub fosters.

The Artrageous Art Hub has been instrumental in reaching new customers and audiences for my artwork. The physical presence of a gallery allows visitors to engage with my art in a way that digital screens simply can't replicate. Each brushstroke, the texture, and the subtleties of color can only truly be appreciated in person. What's more, the reciprocal nature of the Hub means that each member artist’s audience—family, friends, and collectors—gets exposed to the work of others. This cross-pollination of audiences has been invaluable for expanding my reach.

The environment at the Art Hub is one of support and collaboration. I can rely on the team to effectively market the multitude of activities and shows we host, which has led to increased visibility and participation over the past year. I personally thrive on collaboration, and the Hub provides the perfect platform for initiating public art projects, group exhibitions, and collaborative opportunities.

The diverse interpretations and styles at the Hub are a constant source of inspiration. Artists such as Janet, Krystal, Bonnie, Jennifer, Chele, Richard, Jean, Timothy, Edyn, and others have significantly influenced my artistry and the way I run my Practicing Art business. The interactions and exchanges I’ve had with these talented individuals continue to shape my artistic journey.

Being part of Artrageous Art Hub has not only enhanced my art and business acumen but has also enriched my sense of community and artistic purpose. I look forward to the future with excitement, eager for the new opportunities and collaborations that are yet to come.
