FREE FOR ALL
April 9, 2026
The Factory’s FREE FOR ALL is a community group exhibition built on a simple idea: open the doors as wide as possible and see what happens. Created in celebration of The Factory’s 11 year anniversary, this show brings together artists of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. Many artists are showing for the first time, alongside others who have been doing it for years.
With no theme, no jury, and no barrier to entry, the FREE FOR ALL makes space for a wide range of work to exist side by side. The result is an exhibition that is expansive, unpredictable, and reflective of the community that shapes it. Every piece here was chosen simply because someone decided to show up and share it.
This show is less about perfection and more about participation. It is an open invitation turned into a room full of voices, ideas, and creative risk.
Featuring: Alan Marrero, Alex Llapitan, Alison Grimm, Amanda Manitach, Andy Chebeleu, Angelina Han, Audrey Lewis, Aureli Rutledge, Brandon Vosika, Bridget O'Brien-Smith, Casey Arguelles Gregory, Christine Costello, Dan Hawkins, Dianna Mistele, Doug Newman, Emily Turner, Glitter, Grace Pratt, Gwenyvere Van Der Zee, Hannah Zizza, Harlen Munsö, Heather Timm, Ian "Bub" Davis, Izzy Nestegard, Jason Mayhew, Jessica Marie Mercy, John Behr, Jordan Christianson, Junodrome, Kalina Winska, Karl Cassel, Kaytlyn Harvey, Kelly Rysdyke, Kento, Kurt Liebert, Lacey Swain, Laurel Villegas, Leah Fadness, Libby Logerwell, Lindsay Powers, Lucien Vedego, Maggie Yale, Mary Anne Carter, Maya Mohr, Melody Hirsch, Mint, Morgan Peterson, Oli Big, Phex, Rich Stevens, Ruben David Rodriguez, Sierra Bundy, SloMilli, Sophia Trịnh, Stella Christoforou, Steve Gilbert, Timothy Rysdyke, and Tommy Gregory.
FALSE IDOLS
February 12, 2026
False Idols is a large-scale sculpture show inspired by the objects we grew up obsessing over and never fully let go of.
From Beanie Babies, Tamagotchis, Game Boys, and Furbies to today’s Labubus, Sonny Angels, and other pocket-sized icons from the ’90s, Y2K, and today. These are the tiny things that once ruled the playground, the classroom, and our brains. Sometimes even the economy, too.
These weren’t just toys or trends. They were sources of joy… but also status symbols, social glue, and tiny currencies. In False Idols, artists recreate these familiar objects at a monumental scale, turning small obsessions into sculptures that are part toy, part relic, and part shrine.
Pulling from Nickelodeon-era chaos, early internet aesthetics, and contemporary collector culture, False Idols looks at how hype works, why nostalgia hits so hard, and why shared obsession still holds so much power, even when we know better.
Featuring work by: Ash Campbell, Alison Grimm, Jessica Marie Mercy, Jules, Maggie Yale, Morgan Peterson, Sierra Bundy, and Timothy Rysdyke. Co-curated by Jessica Marie Mercy.
CUT IT OUT
January 8, 2026
Cut It Out is exactly what it sounds like.
Artists painting on wood, cutting the work out, and letting the image determine where the painting begins and ends. No frames, no extra real estate, no polite rectangles.
What remains is a painting shaped by its own subject—part image, part object, fully itself.
Cut It Out features work by @bed.by.ten, @board_2_death_, @brandonvosika, @cocospadoniart, @floral.naps, @glynn.rosenberg, @jesusmaryannejoseph, @tomthinks, and @timothyrysdyke.
