Beginning Thursday, Nov. 14, you can check out the works of local artists Amber Cox, Kay Allday, and Jaden Rice while having some breakfast or lunch at Dash-In, 814 S. Calhoun St.

Their works will stay up through Sunday, Dec. 22, although you’ll get a chance to interact with the artists and fellow art enthusiasts during the Loose Screws art show opening from 6-9 p.m. on Nov. 14.

‘Want people to be happy’

This exciting pop-up event in this 21-and-older venue invites the community to support local female artists as they present a vibrant collection of Pop Surrealism. 

Cox is a tattoo artist at The Painted Lady, 1305 E. State Blvd., which is owned by Allday. 

You may also have seen Rice’s work around town under the pseudonym Subliminally.

The art show blends elements of tattoo culture and bold pop art, celebrating tattoo artistry and street art aesthetics. 

With bold, fun, and rebellious energy, the show bridges the gap between body art and contemporary visual art, reflecting the artists’ roots in the world of tattoos.

For Cox, the artwork is all about providing some positivity in a sometimes-not-too-positive world.

“We just want people to be happy when they view our work, no motive, no agenda” she said. “We are a couple of loose screws (aren’t we all) and wanted to highlight that acknowledging the crazy in life is beautiful.”

Local hang-out

The Dash-In, known for its eccentric vibe, great brews, and delicious food items, provides the perfect space to enjoy time with friends while appreciating this show of local talent. 

All featured pieces will be available for purchase — be sure to follow the artists on Instagram for sneak peeks of what’s to come. 

With the show running through Dec. 22, there will be plenty of time to stop by and support these talented artists.
