Death Masquerade 2023 marks another installment of our annual group exhibition and party exploring the concept of a “death mask”. This year, all attendees are invited to craft their own masks for submission to the event and month-long exhibition.

The bash is open to all souls, with or without a mask. That said, if you would like to submit a mask into the show, please follow the guidelines below. If these guidelines are not strictly adhered to your submission will not be accepted.

Overview

• Each mask must be submitted in person on the night of the masquerade, 10/28 between 7-10pm.

• Each participant is limited to only one submission. Collaborations are allowed. 

• You must pick up your mask at the end of the show, between 12/1 and 12/7 (see below).

• Underland will not be responsible for any damage to artwork.

Mask requirements
