Fused Underground Celebrates 10 Years
Fused Underground celebrates 10 years this Friday! Do you love art? Okay, well, how about super cool horror art? Or even better- super cool horror art, displayed in one of the best bars in Philly and put on by the coolest couple. We all love JERKS Productions and their Fused Underground shows.
If you’re unfamiliar, get to know them. Better late than never. This Friday is a great time to start too. On Friday, October 7th JERKS Productions will be celebrating 10 years of art horror, and booze at Tattooed Mom. Such a great partnership. Over the last decade, JERKS Productions has held a regular art show event called Fused Underground at Tattooed Mom.
Not a stuffy, quiet, hoity-toity art show either. Fused Underground is an art show focused on horror and designed to give artists a space to showcase and sell work while networking with other working artists in a safe environment. It’s a who’s who of quirky, creative types getting together on South Street, and showing off their talents in hands-down one of the most-loved bars in the city.
If you’ve never been to Tattooed Mom, here’s their description on Google: “Relaxed hipster bar with food & drink specials, pool tables plus toys & candy on the bar.” Sure, but not really. This blurb doesn’t nearly do this place justice. The entire two-story spot is covered (and I mean COVERED) in graffiti and stickers, and yes, lots of candy too. There are also multiple bumper cars (inexplicably). The entire place is just bursting with personality and is located on South Street, which as we know, has quite a lot of personality and history in this city. On Fused Underground nights, Tattooed Mom also features lots of really cool horror art.
It’s not just an art show. It’s a community. As of Friday, for ten years, JERKS Productions have premiered their films, raised money for various charities, promoted art and artists in Philadelphia (and beyond), and celebrated many life events, – including the engagement of hosts Jill and Brandon.
So come out on Friday! Eat some candy. See some art. Join the family. Be there as Fused Underground celebrates 10 years at Tattooed Mom. Here’s to 10 more years!
