The Inaugural Krampus Show 2024
Friday, December 20, 2024 from 11:00am to 07:00pm
Copro Gallery
2525 Michigan Avenue, T5
Tis the season to be jolly — BLAB! and KRAMPUS are coming to town.
Curated by Monte Beauchamp—and hosted by Gary Pressman of the Los Angeles Copro Gallery—a sterling lineup of contemporary painters, illustrators, and sculptors will be adorning the walls with the Yuletide Season's favorite, hair-raising beast — KRAMPUS.
“It wasn't until the 21st century that he really came across the pond, though, and National Geographic says there's one person you should thank for introducing you to Krampus: Blab!magazine's Monte Beauchamp. He's the one who first published those images in the U.S., initially in his magazine and then in a set of books.” —The Untold Truth Of Krampus; DB Kelly; www.grunge.com
Beauchamp will be signing copies of KRAMPUS: The Devil of Christmas along with his other Krampus merch—boxed greeting card sets, sticker books, and playing card sets—published by Last Gasp.
