An exhibition that examines and celebrates the role of the artist as “rule breaker.” It pays homage to that tendency in artists to think outside the box and to envision the world differently. “Ban This Show” functions to support and encourage the artistic impulse towards change, divergence, rebelliousness, experimentation, and self-reflection.

This year's theme will be “Creepy Crawlers” inspired by the 1960’s activity game that taught children to cast plastic insects and other ‘creepy’ organisms out of molds.
This year Atelier de la Nature will host four Southern artists as they create bug and other creepy-crawler-themed sculptures from recycled metals using a portable casting furnace and blacksmithing forge installed onsite at the Atelier grounds.
In addition, there will be live insects, giant arachnids, amazing arthropods, pickled sea roaches, segmented bodies, exoskeleton suits of armor, antennae and much more!
Our 2024 festival mascot is “Franken-Mantis” by artist and biologist Cheyenne Eagles.
The festival will be on Saturday, October 26, 2024, from 10-4, with film screenings starting at 6, other nocturnal activities and camping after for those that want to.
