An Exhibition on

Not Shockboxx invites artists from everywhere to submit work for Wild, Weird, and Wonderful, a fully online exhibition celebrating the bold, the unexpected, and the unapologetically original.

This is a space for work that does not quite fit anywhere else. The pieces that are too strange, too playful, too loud, too emotional, too layered, or too hard to explain. The work that makes people pause, laugh, question, or feel something they did not expect.

We are not looking for safe.
We are not looking for polished perfection.
We are looking for work that has a pulse.

All mediums are welcome including painting, photography, sculpture, prints, textile, mixed media, video, and beyond. If it translates visually and holds its own in a digital space, we want to see it.

This is a juried exhibition, and all selected works will be presented exclusively on Artsy.net as part of Not Shockboxx’s digital programming. The exhibition will be live for eight weeks.

Another field trip to in the big apple DID NOT DISAPPOINT as we got to see the exhibit.

Probably my favorite exhibit ever. How inspiring and awesome.

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 🔥🔥🔥

To see the textiles and “craft” of art fully be embraced mainstream says a lot about where art is going. I hope our Knot Sorry exhibit in August can be a nod to the brothers!

There’s something subversive about softness.

Knot Sorry pulls fiber art out of the polite, domestic corner and into the spotlight where it belongs — bold, labor-intensive, intimate, and impossible to ignore. This exhibition celebrates work made by hand, by time, by tension. Quilts that carry stories. Garments that feel like armor or confession. Threads that bind, unravel, and reassemble meaning.

We’re interested in fiber as both material and message. The slow process. The repetitive act. The history stitched into every surface. And the ways artists are pushing these traditions into something sharper, stranger, more personal.

Bring us the pieces that blur the line between craft and fine art. The ones that feel obsessive. Tender. Unapologetic. Work that holds weight — physically or emotionally — whether it’s stitched, knotted, woven, sewn, or layered into mixed media.

This is about care and control. About labor you can see. About softness that doesn’t ask permission.

No apologies. No minimizing.

Knot Sorry.

Calling all g**s, theys, and heys—this one’s for you.

THE GAY AGENDA is our upcoming digital exhibition on Artsy, spotlighting work by q***r artists in all its forms—bold, quiet, chaotic, tender, and everything in between. This isn’t about fitting a theme. It’s about showing up as you are and letting the work speak.

All mediums welcome. If it’s yours, we want to see it.

🗓 Deadline to apply: May 15
💻 Exhibition will live online for 6 weeks
🎟 Apply via CaFÉ (link in bio)

No gatekeeping. No neat boxes. Just good work by q***r artists.

ART IS KEEPING US ALIVE
Independent art spaces don’t survive on their own.

They survive because artists, collectors, and community decide they matter.
This exhibition is exactly that.

“Art Is Keeping Us Alive” brings together artists who have donated work to help sustain Not Shockboxx — a q***r-owned, artist-forward gallery built for bold, strange, thoughtful work that doesn’t always fit neatly inside traditional systems.

Every piece in this exhibition was contributed in support of keeping this weird little art space alive.

Join us for opening night:
May 21
Not Shockboxx, 636 Cypress Avenue in Hermosa Beach

The exhibition will feature donated works across mediums, all available for acquisition in support of the gallery’s future.

Special thanks to Gallery Artist Anjalè Perrault for creating the exhibition cover artwork and for contributing to the show.

Artists supporting artists.
Artists supporting spaces.
Artists keeping weird little art spaces alive.
