The Somerville Arts Council’s Inside Out Gallery at Davis Square is currently featuring the “Dark Tales, Familiars & Object of Divination” exhibit at 1 Davis Sq.

To ring in the arrival of autumn and its many mysteries, the Somerville Arts Council’s Inside Out Gallery at Davis Square presents a group exhibit, Dark Tales, Familiars & Object of Divination, curated by local artist Boriana Kantcheva, that brings together works to celebrate the darkness and magic of the season’s perennial “thinning of the veil.”

Inspired by fairy tales, ghost stories and the lore of Halloween, each piece has its own unique story and sordid past. Featuring a macabre collective of skulls, spirits, relics, masks and familiars, this exhibit is not for the faint of heart – so proceed with caution.

Participating artists include Heather Balchunas, Eric Bornstein, Audrey Diallo, Jonathan Donahue, Jen Fries, Gretchen Graham, Boriana Kantcheva, Pauline Lim, Jamie Magid, Michele O’Brien, Iman Sakkaf, Hilary Scott, Kate Schreiber and Bekka Teerlink.
