Factory of Fear
at ARTfactory’s Caton Merchant Gallery
October 10-October 31, 2024
(9419 Battle St, Manassas, VA 20110)

To coincide with ARTfactory’s annual Factory of Fear event and fundraiser, the Caton Merchant Gallery is organizing a group art exhibition titled “Factory of Fear”. The artwork in this juried group exhibit can but does not need to directly depict images of Halloween (pumpkins, black cats, etc.), and instead encourages artists to submit work of a “darker” nature. Think dark landscapes, unusual/surrealistic portraits and imagery, good vs. evil, the ethereal, abstraction, and overall, works that emanate a “darker” aesthetic or vibe.

About the Factory of Fear Event:
ARTfactory’s Factory of Fear (Friday, October 25 & Saturday, October 26)
Experience the ARTfactory like never before! Embark on a perilous journey through all four terrifying floors where waking nightmares lurk around every corner. Mark your calendars, gather your bravest friends, and prepare to face the horrors that await at the Factory of Fear! Visit VirginiaARTfactory.org for details.

During the event, the building will be transformed into a haunted factory where each floor will have a unique and terrifying theme for visitors to tour. The 1st floor art gallery will be transformed into a portrait gallery and wax museum.
