The Cute K.O. Show

Cuties of all kinds are welcome to Cute K.O. Show, celebrating a decade of silly little guys created by Erika Schnatz! Back in spring of 2017, Erika launched Cute K.O., a tournament of cuteness populated by original characters. Via various social media platforms and in-person events, folks vote for their favorites in head-to-head matchups, and the tournament concludes when one cutie remains. To commemorate the milestone, year ten is a tournament of champions bracket, where top characters from the past four years will return to vie for a championship title. Come by Sonny’s House to view a gallery wall full of original mini pieces, vote in round one of Cute K.O. 2026, and pick up some merch of your favorite little guy.

Reverie

a soft and whimsical gallery show by @rowan_sugar

Reverie is a collection of original paintings full of fantastical creatures, stars and sparkles, dreamy clouds, and soft colors.

Mystic Windows

a foil print showcase by @jessi_buck

An ever-growing collection of tiny wonders, Mystic Windows aims to capture the magic of nature through metallic, iridescent, and sparkly foil-accented prints. The pieces in this show are the accumulation of Jessi Buck’s ongoing studies and experimentations as she works to complete 100 prints by the end of the year. Come sneak a glimpse into her glimmering world of the cozy, ephemeral, serene, and surreal.⁠

Sad Girl Summer

A Hot Pink Gallery Show By @natsandme 

During her recent depressive episode, local artist @natsandme created a new body of work that helped her overcome a tough summer. Painting and bedazzling each piece was a way to transport her mind into a realm of color, gratitude, magic, and light. Sad Girl Summer is a personal journey in which Natalia reunited with her childlike curiosity and enjoyed creating art.


Join us on August 23rd from 5-7 pm to explore castles in the sky, dreamland princesses, and lovely magical creatures at Sonny's House. We hope Natalia's colors will leave you with a sense of joy, hope, and whimsy.
