Black Lodge’s HALLOWEEN PANDEMONIUM FEST
When the old Black Lodge closed to find a new home, they held our biggest Halloween party to date. They decided it was to be their last, until they were ready to return.
That time has finally come. As Lodge prepares its new home to open this New Year's, they invite you to join them in celebrating their return at Halloween Pandemonium. Their RE-birthday, if you will.

Art/Race/Violence: A Collaborative Response
Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United StatesArt/Race/Violence: A Collaborative Response is a multidisciplinary project organized by visual culture historian Dr. Earnestine Jenkins and artist Richard Lou in collaboration with Crosstown Arts. Through this project, local artists collectively explore intersections of race and systemic violence through the lens of cultural expression. Conceived to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ell Persons’ very public murder by members of the Memphis community through the act of lynching, the project was further inspired by recent events to memorialize lynching sites in the broader Memphis community in an effort to bring about greater understanding of racial oppression and violence in the South.

Lavender’s Landscape
Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United StatesAnthony Lee
Latex and Urethane on Panel, Triptych, 2017Composing a triptych, these works by artist Anthony Lee are a continuous, long-scale, lavender tonal gradient, equal in light value but demonstrating the effect of desaturation. Viewed from left to right, it begins as intense lavender, and then through gradation it finishes into its grey equivalent. This adds a fourth-dimensional sense of movement or transfer within the works, allowing the viewer’s eyes to calmly experience the space in the works as they seemlessly shift color.
