Buckshot Gallery in Santa Monica, California, is hosting a reception tomorrow, October 17, for “Noche de Calaveras,” a show featuring mixed-media works on skulls. The style: a mashup of urban and fine art. The concept: an exploration of the celebration of death.

The exhibition was curated by L.A. graffiti legend Risk, who founded the gallery with the mission of giving so-called street artists the opportunity to work outside of the confines of their typical media.

Risk has lined up an impressive group of artists and contributors for “Noche de Calaveras”—which will be on view through November 7—including New York painter Kenny Scharf, creative director Ernie Cefalu, fashion brand O.G. Abel, and photographer/director Steven Lippman.

The reception is scheduled for 6 to 10 p.m. at Buckshot Gallery, 3129 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, CA. It’s open to the public, but they ask that you RSVP to [email protected].
