ABOUT
Founded in 2012, Arch Enemy Arts is an exhibition space for established and emerging artists from all over the world, actively working in the vast and imaginative movement of New Contemporary Art. The curation at Arch Enemy Arts focuses on representational drawing, painting, and sculpture with emphasis in pop surrealism, magical realism, and post-graffiti genres. Our programming provides access to a range of artistic expression through a variety of styles and mediums—dedicated to showcasing the strikingly unconventional, highly technical, and utterly bizarre.
The Gallery
With over 1,500 square feet of exhibition space, AEA releases new exhibitions every two to three weeks, featuring multiple solos and one group exhibition per month. That said, our walls are constantly changing. The best way to stay up-to-date with our programming is to sign up for our bi-monthly Newsletter. There, you can request the Collector’s Preview for a particular show and receive early-access to exhibitions before the general release. Opening receptions for all of our shows take place on the First Friday of every month from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. as part of Old City District’s First Friday event series.
The Boutique
Our store-front boutique displays a rotating curation of original past catalog artwork as well as fine art giclée prints, screenprints, and small items like pins, patches, stickers, cards, jewelry, and apparel. We carry Hi-Fructose and Beautiful Bizarre magazines and tend to have issues in stock even after they’ve sold out online. Prints, apparel, and select boutique inventory can be found in our online store.
Purchasing Artwork
All artworks listed on our website are available for purchase unless otherwise noted. Items marked with a red dot are sold. We ship anywhere in the world, and as professional art handlers, we take great care packing each piece to ensure it arrives safely to its destination. We accept all major credit cards, Paypal, Venmo, or money order and offer flexible payment plans on most works.
If you are a new collector interested in the pricing and availability of a particular artist or artwork, please direct all inquiries to info@archenemyarts.com. If you have bought work from us in the past, feel free to reach out to your sales representative (Noah or Lawren) with your inquiry. We are happy to field any questions you may have about a particular artist, piece, or collection and can provide additional images upon request. If you are visiting and would like a private consultation, please reach out in advance. We would be happy to meet with you outside of our regular hours and can prepare past catalog works per your interest.
