JERKS Productions is bringing Stephen King to the 2nd floor walls of Tattooed Mom! This themed First Friday art show series alternates months with their Fused Underground First Friday shows, and ALL OF THEM are hosted at Tattooed Mom. With the theme shows, JERKS aims to challenge artists to take a step out of their comfort zones & focus their work on new themes!
This July, JERKS is proud to present Nightmares and Dreamscapes: A Stephen King Inspired Art Show, celebrating the work of one of the greatest authors to have ever lived! Avoid MISERY—don’t MIST out on this incredible, inspiring, SHINING art show! You won’t regret IT!
JERKS will be raising money for Scares That Care, a volunteer charity that fights the REAL MONSTERS of childhood illness, burns and breast cancer by helping families that are experiencing these extraordinary hardships cope with the financial burden.
Submissions are still open!
JERKS welcome artists of all mediums and styles to create work celebrating Stephen King. Please send your submission and any questions to [email protected].

Then come clay with Philly’s most amorphous queerdos as they serve up some stop-motion showstoppers at Tattooed Mom’s on Thursday June 27th!

This fundraiser is an urgent call to action to fight back against the unconstitutional abortion bans impacting access to safe reproductive healthcare in several southern states.
Several local artists (and a tarot reader!!) will be sharing their work, and donating between 30-50% of art sales to Women Have Options & Access Reproductive Care – Southeast to stand in solidarity with those affected by anti-abortion bills.
A raffle including work from each of our featured artists will also be up for grabs, and 100% of the profits put towards this will be donated. There will be food and drinks (plenty of vegan options!), tarot readings, and artwork in this safe space. Let’s come together to take a stand and open up the conversation.
