Omega is defined as the last of something — when it comes to the Culture of Cult Art Series, we can only hope that isn’t the case.

Culture of Cult Art Series will present its 10th art show, Omega, at the Ore Dock Brewing Company from 6:30-10:30 p.m. on Friday.

The show, which kicks off Ore Dock’s Angry Bear Festival celebration, will be one night only.

“In general it has a little bit of built-in excitement of people trying to not miss it because they know that they won’t be able to see that theme or that art again (in person),” Culture of Cult Art Series curator and founder Mike Forester said.

This year’s theme, which pays homage to its first art show, is pop culture.

The show started in 2014 and occurred twice a year as a one-night only, pop-up art show. Forester launched it when he moved back to Marquette after living in several places around the U.S. Being a former Northern Michigan University student, Forester noted that when he was attending NMU he was frustrated that there weren’t a lot of opportunities for students to display their art besides a school gallery.

There will be many types of mediums for purchase at the show on Friday. Some examples include stained glass, handmade costumes that “have been built almost to movie screen accuracy,” paintings and many more interesting pieces.

“If it’s creative, and it fits the theme, I want it in the show,” Forester said.

According to Forester, this will be the largest show the group has ever put on in terms of art. There will be an estimated 50 pieces of artwork for purchase, and about 25 artists will be there to talk about their pieces. There is no admission fee to attend.

“There is a variety of mediums that will be there on display. If you’re a poster collector, if you’re a fan of fine art, if you’re someone who likes weird, obnoxious pieces, we’ve got it all. That’s what I think is really awesome about this show. There is literally something for everyone,” Forester said.

While Culture of Cult is calling this its last art show, Forester hinted that it may be revived with a different vibe in the future.

“What we’re doing is retooling the format and we’re retooling the brand, and getting some more people on board that I think are really going to be able to make it exciting,” he said.

“If you’re a fan of art, if you’re a fan of artistic beer, I cannot think of a better place to be,” Forester said.

These shows have allowed artists to showcase their work in a friendly setting for nearly a decade now. We applaud Forester for getting this event going, and we hope to see some variation of it in the future.
