Myths and monsters connect people in many different ways. Whether it be the small whispers of bigfoot or the beliefs held by an entire culture, tales of myths and monsters span all over the world. These strange creatures and alluring stories can be interpreted in many different ways, and with this show, we did just that. Our artwork covers multiple genres- from non-objective and abstract to in your face political statements. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
