First Friday, February 6th @ Arch Enemy Arts

Arch Enemy Arts invites you to join us on Februray 6th from 5 - 9 pm for the opening celebration of four new solo exhibitions, featuring new-contemporary artists working in a wild range of styles and mediums, plus The 2026 Spotlight Showcase, our only open call group exhibition of the year. 

More about the shows:

Babs Webb's "Same Window Different Visual" is a raw and emotive series. It is sweeping and intense; at once private, personal, delicate and dramatic. The show features five of the Colorado-based artist's signature drawings, plus three light-up dimensional works, and a gorgeously constructed rare sculpture. As a whole, the collection serves as a gateway into the artist’s dark and ethereal inner world.

The debut solo exhibition by local Philly artist, Alex Eckman-Lawn, is a collection of gorgeous dimensional collages made from hand-cut paper, constructed in an architecture of mysterious portals, like catacombs and ghostly terrains.

Andrea Hooge's "Futures Reimagined" is a series of twelve scratchboard illustrations, sculptural dioramas, and layered cutouts by Canadian artist Andrea Hooge. The series reflects on generational conflicts at different times in living memory in scenes that have all of the illustrative whimsy we love about Hooge's work.

Spanish pop-surrealist painter Perrilla debuts a romp of madcap monsters lead by powerful big-eyed females. Her work is weird and surreal, yet full of joy.

The 2026 Spotlight Showcase is our annual pulse-check on the new contemporary landscape and an excuse to look beyond the familiar and find what’s next. This year's lineup features 18 artists new to Arch Enemy Arts from across the globe, working in a wide range of styles and mediums.
