2025 NEWS
The Name Has Changed.
The Intent Hasn’t.
Formerly Arches Brewing Art, we now move forward under a name that better reflects our intent, our flexibility, and the nature of what we do. This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a realignment.
The Artifice™ isn’t just a gallery. It’s an experiment. A signal. A performance. A presence.
A space between the commercial and the conceptual. It moves. It manifests. It activates. And it always leaves a mark.
CURRENT EXHIBITION
A Participatory Installation and Live Happening
Activate Artifice
Activate Artifice is a live, evolving exhibition that operates more like a public happening than a traditional show. The gallery wall becomes a living, streaming surface—a matrix of canvases awaiting public intervention. Artists and viewers are invited to mark, overwrite, paint, deface, or erase in real time. Every gesture is recorded—both in pigment and in pixels. This is a sacred space disguised as a public one, a stage of collective authorship, a site of beautification and defamation. The wall never settles. It performs back. And in the end, what remains will not be clarity, but a residue of intent.
Watch. Participate. Reconsider your ownership of space.
