We want to thank all of you that came out for the Opening Reception of “Once: A Nostalgic Group Exhibition” on Friday Night.

Miss Ivy Compton did an amazing job curating this show, creating a window installation, editing hours of old video footage, booking a DJ and throwing a great party for her guests. Very grateful to everyone that came out to support this effort, shared the event and bought Artwork from the Artists. Shout out to Pettingell/ DJ LemmonTEK for his awesome work DJ’ing the whole night! Hit him up for your own events if you enjoyed his set.

It’s exciting to see a new crew of homegrown creatives working together this way. Felt like the old days.

“ONCE” is up now at Metropolis Collective through May 17th. Please check the page for public hours. As you were.

JUNE 5, 6, & 7, 2026 (FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY) • NIGHTMARE’S STILL A DREAM | The ART SHOW EXPERIENCE by MEAUTY • Where dreams and nightmares are one, rather than placing them in a “good” or “bad” category. We can be quick to judge those visions when and if we remember, maybe wishing you had seen something else. What you see is curated by your own personal experience, and doesn’t make sense but why is it that certain details get stuck in our minds?

Art show hosted Metropolis Collective
More info TBA upcoming weeks ahead!

A few detail shots from ‘ONCE: A Nostalgia Themed Group Exhibit”, curated by Ivy Compton, which opens here on Friday, 4/17.
She’s pulled together an amazing roster of young regional artists, It’s coming out darker than we expected, and it’s gonna be great. So excited to see the final results.

In her own words:

“ONCE’ is a group show of young artists showcasing the yearnful feelings for a time that is no longer here. With a mix of paintings, drawings, photography and a live DJ set, come experience the feeings of childhood whimsy & the deep longing to feel what Once was.”
~ Ivy Compton, Curator
