This June we present our annual showcase of works by dozens of member artists who have helped make PUNCH possible. As an all-volunteer operation, offering memberships enables us to continue art and music programming throughout the calendar year. So, pop on in this month for a fantastic survey of work by our supportive members. This annual show is always diverse, delightful and full of surprises. Here’s what you might expect to see in the exhibition:

For starters there’s a wolf utopia paint-by-numbers, a Kool-Aid coleoptera and a cat planter that doubles as a perfect Twinkie tray. There are portraits of at least one evolutionary father-figure, along with works that reveal some of his wildest premonitions. Contemplate the macaroni mandala or have a quiet moment w/ any one of the Madonna and child motifs curiously and coincidently explored in this show. There are collaged collages, abstract abstractions and book art for all the bibliophiles. Feast your eyes on metal art that simply rocks and a sculpture that is so metal that it would make Rob Halford blush. And as a perfect tie-in to the former PUNCH dive bar, we have numerous water-themed works including an unreliable life preserver and action painting of cliff jumping shenanigans sure to invoke stomach butterflies. But as luck would have it, our marine-themed bar space is in the process of transformation…

Prepare yourselves for the next iteration of the PUNCH bar. Our aquatic-themed and quite literal dive bar has sunk. Prepare to be transported to the urban jungle, where nature and industrial grit collide. And be on the lookout for Sassy the Sasquatch’s new location!
