Often evolved from cultural traditions  and morality tales, these stories engage our collective fears and provoke strong emotional  responses. Such legends survive through storytelling that is often communicated using a  mix of words and imagery. The narrative can intensify the impact of the legend. The  more fantastic the tale, the more likely it will be passed down through generations. More  recently, the Internet has encouraged the rapid dissemination of these modern legends,  many of which can be traced back to the original folklore that inspired them. The works of the thirty-seven artists included in this exhibition are based on specific urban legends. Each work is accompanied by text explaining the artist's personal connection to a chosen urban legend. The purpose of this exhibition is not to illustrate urban legends, but to better understand them by considering them in the context of each artist's interpretation.   A R T I S T S Dmitriy Astakhov  Clayton Bailey  Rex Barron  Stephen Berkman  Joe Biel  Kevin Bradley  Sarina Brewer  Hugh Brown  Mike Cockrill  Michael Criley  Lew Delport   Chris Farling  Llyn Foulkes  Gregg Gibbs  Jeff Gillette  Mark Gleason  Laurie Hassold  Tony Huynh  Hellen Jo  Laurie Lipton  Matjames Metson  Lauren Morrison  Adam Oehlers  Naida Osline  Burt Payne 3 and Stephen Hillenburg  Ransom & Mitchell  Victoria Reynolds  Jim Shaw  Christopher Ulrich  Jeffrey Vallance  Nicola Verlato  Marnie Weber  Chris Wilder  Robert Williams  Scott D.
