Giving all the feels, if you seek magic that leaves you in a fairy tale then don’t miss Aunty Beast’s, “Lucky Teeth” solo exhibition that, at a glance, will most assuredly lift your creative spirit. Aunty Beast’s installation will be on view from April 7th – April 30th, 2023. If that wasn’t enough, take a stroll through past shows to see what tickles your fancy. See all of these collections in their entirety (and so much more) by visiting the gallery in-person or from the comforts of your screen, wherever you are out there.
Arch Enemy Arts invites you to explore LUCKY TEETH, the first solo exhibition by local “portal guardian” and puppet-maker-extraordinaire, AUNTY BEAST. The show features a spring-inspired, site-specific environment built by the artist for her newest collection of twenty-one curious creatures and cuddly confidantes–plushies, puppets, pups, and beasts.
So far, four distinct genotypes have been discovered: Plushies with arms and legs; Stash Mouths, which are Plushies that can devour all of your darkest secrets (or hide your phone for a few hours); Hand Pups with no legs; and Hybrids, which feature arms, legs, and a hand opening at the back of the head for puppeteering. Each beast is meticulously crafted, hand-sewn, and wrought from another world that has imbued them with their own life and personality.

About the Gallery //
Seeking to fill the need for a centralized hub focused exclusively on new contemporary genres within Philadelphia’s already vibrant art scene, Arch Enemy Arts was founded in 2012 and quickly became Philly’s freshest new venue dedicated to exhibiting emerging and established artists, both local and international. Located in Philadelphia’s Old City District, and with an emphasis on the lowbrow, pop-surrealism, urban, and macabre in a wide range of mediums, Arch Enemy Arts was chosen as Philadelphia Magazine’s “Best of Philly”™ Best Art Gallery for its 40th Anniversary issue, voted the “Best Art Gallery in Philadelphia” on Philly HotList in 2013, and in 2012.
