WITCHES BALL 2022
CALL FOR ARTISTS – SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

Spicy Creative is partnering with Buffalo Rising to present this year’s installment of murals for the Witches Ball. We are seeking local artists to create large-scale works that fit this year’s theme of “Highway to Hell.” The works will be incorporated into an interactive art experience at The Statler during the evening’s events. The chosen artists will also be given vending opportunities at the event among other incentives, thanks to our sponsors. Every year the event draws approximately 2,000 attendees and is considered to be Buffalo’s best immersive halloween experience featuring dozens of the most ‘hardcore’ local artists, actors, drag queens, musicians, DJs, psychics, mediums and more!
