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. 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.

One of the best things about our IMAGINARY MENAGERIE series is finding out which legendary beasts, creatures, and cryptids our artists choose to bring to life. This year Evan Lovejoy went for a super fun deep cut choice with the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary - a new one for our bestiary! 🐑🌱 According to medieval folklore, this bizarre little creature grew from a plant, attached to the earth by a flexible stalk, and could only graze on the grass within its own reach. We absolutely love Evan’s gorgeous interpretation and jewel tone palette for this super fun legend, and we’re stoked to have it part of the show. Come see the exhibition on our walls through November 1st or visit each piece online via our website. Gallery hours and exhibition links can be found in our profile.

Really big smile. Really tiny teeth. Absolutely excellent possum! 😂 This ridiculously charming lil’ guy from Kristen Egan’s AU NATUREL solo is surprisingly still up for grabs. In fact, only a couple masks are still available, so if you’ve been thinking about adding one of her pieces to your collection - now’s the time! Come meet this happy little legend in person or DM/email us if you’d like us to red dot him for you. AU NATUREL is up on the walls through November 1st.

Mars Attacks! meets medieval times. 🛸🏰 That’s how one of our visitors described ’s ANEMOIA and I think they absolutely nailed it. Caroline’s awesome solo is on view in our main gallery through the month of October, complete with some really incredible illuninated pieces that deserve to be seen in action. Swipe to the second slide to see how this one lights up! If you can’t visit in person, we’re always happy to email extra photos and videos so you can get the full effect - feel free to reach out.

Every year, Arch Enemy Arts invites artists to submit new work to our OPEN CALL, seeking fresh new-to-us talent for our annual Spotlight Showcase group show that will open at our gallery in Philadelphia in January 2027. If you think your art matches with the vibe of our gallery (featuring representational, figurative, and narrative drawing, painting, fiber art, and sculpture, with an emphasis on new-contemporary lowbrow, pop surrealism, magical realism, and post-graffiti) we want to see it! Or, if you feel you have an artist friend that would be a great fit, let them know about our call!

Submissions are open to all artists ages 18+, regardless of location. International entries *are* welcome! We accept a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, fibert art, sculpture, printmaking, and collage.

Please note: we not interested in AI art here! Works created using Midjourney, DALL·E, or any other generative AI tools anywhere in process will not be accepted.

FULL DETAILS on exactly how and what you can submit, find the OPEN CALL link in our website menu to find all the submissions guidelines & the application.

Have questions about how or what to submit? Give the guidelines a read *first*, then reach out *via EMAIL* if you can’t find the answers you’re looking for. Please DO NOT DM us. In the past, important questions have gotten buried in comments and DMs, so we’ve turned comments off and will not be responding to DMs. We’re checking our email inbox only, so if you want your questions answered, that’s the way to go.

Featured here: “Ball and Chain” by Morgan Booth. Morgan first joined us through our 2023 Open Call and has since shown with AEA in numerous group exhibitions, most recently presenting her first solo feature with us in November 2025.

Kristen Egan’s new collection AU NATUREL is down to just a few gorgeous pieces, including “Gale,” one of the larger and more wildly antlered sculptures in the bunch. Swipe for a closeup. These beauties really deserve to be seen in person, so if you’re looking for a good way to spend a couple hours this Sunday, come for a visit and see all 16 new gourd sculptures Kristen created for us. We’re open today from 11–5pm.
