Join ArtHaus Vigil & Evoke Gallery for an exclusive night with The Ladies Three - before the curtains come up.
In a dressing room - now, long ago, and tomorrow - three ladies prepare for a show. Lady Miss Past muses of another time, Lady Miss Present is getting herself put together, and Lady Miss Future waits for the real thing - But they all hear the same man over the loudspeaker.

Get ready to experience the mysterious and thrilling atmosphere of "Specter" brought to you by Evoke - it's going to be a night to remember!
Evoke Presents "Specter"
Something haunting is coming to Evoke Gallery this October…
Evoke presents Specter, an exhibition that delves into the fragile boundary between life and what lingers beyond. Each artist captures the ephemeral nature of the macabre across various mediums, offering space for works that explore the quiet tensions of our world, and beyond.
We’re curating works that delve into the quiet tensions of both our world and what lies beyond. Specter is a dark and twisted exploration of what lies beyond the surface. From October 19th to November 2nd, immerse yourself in an exhibition that delves into the eerie, the grotesque, and the beauty found in the dark.
Specter is a moment, a pause, allowing the art to seep into our psyches, urging us to listen to the faint whispers within each piece. As you move through the exhibition, you are called to confront the lingering thoughts that usually stay hidden, the ones that exist in the darkest corners of your mind.
This is a space to sit with what haunts us; to find beauty within it, and to acknowledge that maybe, we’re all a little haunted.

"La Vida, La Maravilla: A Latine Art and Heritage Exhibition" - Curated by Fabian Sotelo - CLOSING RECEPTION
With Hispanic Heritage Month around the corner, Evoke proudly presents “La Vida, La Maravilla: A Latine Art and Heritage Exhibition”. This is a celebration of the rich and evolving experiences of Latin & Hispanic immigrants and first-generation individuals. This exhibition seeks to capture the essence in the everyday moments and the small, yet profound, details that make life in a new place uniquely vibrant.
As we navigate the American experience, our customs and traditions take on new forms, blending the old with the new. In the rush of life, we often overlook the subtle beauty in these transformations. "La Vida, La Maravilla" invites us to pause and appreciate how these new experiences and traditions enrich our lives and continue to shape our cultural identity. Through this exhibition, Evoke aims to bring a deep appreciation for the ways in which our heritage continues to thrive, even as it evolves.
