I once was green but now I've slipped in
Two by two the colors dripped when
My eyes were closed but now I see
What a shame to delve or dive
To chart to grip
I prey
They slip
Into The Refractory
..

Calling all artists, performers, freaks, and dim denizens.
We seek to raise our canvas walls once again.
Message the page for info on how to join us this fall. Official dates to be determined.
See you soon.

What a shame...

🫀 W E D I D I T 🫂

We are so grateful and amazed at the turnout we had on Saturday. Before we say goodbye for the year, I'd ask for our lovely guests to post any pictures/videos they took at the event in the comments here. We'd love to look through your eyes. I need not ask for additional blessings for I still feel Their smiles on my back and Her hands on my shoulders. Thank you all so much.

Thank you to the artists, the staff, volunteers, family, friends and guests who were present for The Bazaar. It took each soul who walked through our tents to make it the beautiful show it was. We can't wait to do it again.

A special thank you from our main organizer Conner to a few peoples. He will attempt to @ those we cannot on the business page in the comments :
Sean and , thank you for raising a child that was told art is a necessity not a frivolity, told that their words were valuable and meant to be heard.
Devin and Knight, thank you for creating and inviting me to the first art show that felt like it was for me, a place where the disturbed and eccentric were put on pedestals not shunned or hidden away.
Abbi Kafer, thank you for being you. Blinded I am for all the stars on your skin and abject beauty in your lungs. My Lord, my Daeth, my Bride, my All, mine Saint Kaliixo.
Thank you.

Many of our volunteers and artists will be dressed up in their fantasy best. We encourage our guests to throw on an early Halloween costume, ren fair outfit, or the most outrageous clothes you have hiding in your closet. I DARE you to match our freak.

Nothing you own fit the bill? No worries! One of our VaVa friends will be selling old performance garb and some mystified vintage. Come grab a quick-change and join the fun. See you soon!

I've been back to repurposing clothes! Destructing and dyeing plain old thrifted finds to give them new life! I have also pulled a lot of vintage items and costumes I am looking to sell to make room for new pieces. This likely won't be an ongoing side hustle but I do plan to bring my trunk of stuff to the for the Vignette Bizarre on September 27th! Come out and rummage my stuff and also catch the and the
Perform and entertain!! Lots of art and food vendors too! ✨

You might start to notice some changes at The Soap Co. Coffee House as we rocket toward the big day. Tread carẻ̵͎fully, a̵̢̧̙̪̻̖̤͕͈͛̃́̓̽nd N̸̞͌o̶͎̠͑̀ ̴̗̆R̸̗͔̉͝ȗ̸̢͔̀n̶͎͊̏n̷͉̬̽͘i̸̤̩͂n̶̻͗́g̴̥̦͘͘. ..

A sneak peak at the immensely talented Spencer Newman's display: "Comic Cavern is a limited series of vintage comic inspired pieces gritty, dramatic, and full of pulp flair. Using bold lines, halftone textures, and CMYK color schemes, these pieces capture timeless characters like gunslingers, gangsters, knights, and aliens in the middle of their own tense narratives. In “A Clean Cut”, a stoic mobster asks the barber to step out… so he can have the final cut with an old friend. See this and others like it only at The Vignette Bazaar. All prints will be exclusive to the event!"
