cha·os the·o·ry - Chaos theory explains that within the visible randomness of complex, chaotic systems, there are inherent repetition, patterns, self-organization, interconnectedness, self-similarity, and constant feedback loops.

Since 2008, the Brimstone has curated an annual nostalgia art show for artists, geeks, gamers, pop-culture fans, and collectors. Each year, we feature works inspired by these themes, along with the overt theme that almost anything can fit the theme. With vibrant colors, engaging aesthetics, and visual diversity, this show is anything but predictable.

As this exhibit evolved, it has begun to take on a more immersive flow, influenced by co-curators, Ashley Royer and Kat Godsey. To fit with this emerging trend, each year presents a sub-theme -- a challenge to create works inspired by the topic. This year's sub-theme is video games.

Opening Reception:

September 26th at 5:30 pm

Admission to both the exhibit and the opening night event is free of charge. There is no specific dress code, and light snacks are provided.
