Stage & Sketch | Monster Edition
Monday, October 19, 2026

An ongoing life drawing series at the Dixon Gallery led by local artist (and Monster Market maker!) Shelda Edwards, these sessions are unique because of their costumed models and dynamic poses. Attendees are invited to sketch wrestlers, drag queens, dancers, mermaids— and special for Monster Market, a MONSTER!

Our lovely model was Miss Mystical with an incredible handmade costume of Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, which sketchers enjoyed on the projector screen as they worked!

Thank you to Shelda and the Dixon for this fun collaboration!

Dinner in Hell | Concept Dinner by Whisks of Doom

Whisks of Doom and Monster Market have been growing together for ten years! To celebrate, Allie whipped up a 4-course concept dinner for 30 lucky victims.

Monster Market created the space and vibes, and Whisks of Doom brought a staff of demons and a plated pie-inspired meal. Such a unique experience!

Thanks to our sponsors: Cathead Vodka for the house cocktails, DJ Witch Hazel with the tunes, and Will Loren for the skulls on loan from his personal collection.
