Halloween comes to Shrewsbury art gallery
Halloween fever has taken over a gallery – leading to one of its most successful exhibitions of the year.
Bear Steps Art Gallery's Halloween Horrorfest will run until tomorrow and is now into its third year.
The Horrorfest was created by Dave Lupine, manager of the gallery in Shrewsbury, whose intention was to come up with something different for the venue. He said: "The objective of the Horrorfest is to bring together a collective of artists who share a similar mindset.
"These are individuals who like to be unique, embrace the macabre and utilise their talents to create quirky, imaginative and haunting works of dark beauty and then showcase them under one roof in a seasonal exhibition.
"The original Horrorfest featured works by just three artists and last year's grew to include seven contributors and now we have 18 different artists taking part.

"Each year the Horrorfest has evolved and grown substantially and I have been proud and amazed at the public response to it.
Apart from the Shrewsbury International Cartoon Festival it has easily been the most successful exhibition Bear Steps has put on this year."
With some of the artists hailing from Belarus, Poland, and Spain the Horrorfest is truly an international event.
Mr Lupine said: ''The two things I most love about curating the Horrorfest are always finding myself being astounded by the sheer variety of work."
