Factory vs. Academy, an art gallery/bookstore, is pleased to announce its second show-- an exhibition dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe's classic horror tale. Featuring new work by Ballard artist Joe Reno, the gallery has been transformed by the eerie glow of black light where Reno's 'eye' paintings and fantastic assemblages give the short story a whole other dimension. The gallery is located at 2220 NW Market St. B01 (lower level) next to Bop Records. Exhibition runs through Nov. 23rd. Hours Sat/Sun from 1-8pm with special Halloween Eve hours (Fri. Oct. 31st) 3-8pm.

Joe Reno grew up in the Pacific Northwest and has created art his whole life. He is a luminary in the Seattle art scene and his work has been shown and collected at various institutions including the Seattle Art Museum, Museum of Northwest Art, and Tacoma Art museum.

Factory vs. Academy is a bookstore/art gallery for local artists and indie authors. With its heart in Ballard and an eye on the future, FvsA is leading the charge for a new model of 'bookstores'-- one that promotes the idea of higher royalties for authors than traditional publishers allow. FvsA hosts rotating exhibitions dedicated to collaboration between writers and artists.

An audiobook of the short story produced for the exhibition features Reno's narration and is now available on Amazon and iTunes.
