Spoke Art gallery is thrilled, chilled, and thoroughly spooked to announce our upcoming Halloween group show Draw Me Like One of Your FINAL GIRLS!! Curated by Tracie Ching and Liz Reed (Cuddles & Rage), FINAL GIRLS will feature an eclectic roster of 60 womxn artists exploring the "final girls" trope and all things horror from a female/femme perspective.

Girls may be made of sugar and spice and everything nice, but our FINAL GIRLS collection is gory and gruesome and everything witchy. Ranging from devilish ceramics and paintings of blood-soaked beasts, to nostalgic horror film posters and ominous masks draped with real human hair, this collection is anything but sweet. In the words of co-curator Cuddles & Rage: "This show is full of strong women and strong images, celebrating horror not only as a genre but a voice for some of our most intimate thoughts.”
