From the first tag to the latest wheat paste, upstairs at TMom’s has been home to a rich history of local & international street art. This is an ever changing gallery: an un-curated & spontaneous outpouring of creativity by local & traveling artists and the countless visitors who leave their unique mark here nightly.
The birth of the upstairs as a vibrant art space is in part tied to a 1999 exhibition by brothers Noah & Nathan Rice. That year the Brothers Rice brought their umbrella wheat pastes we’d been admiring around South Street to Mom’s. All 5000 of them.
Sticker art has been an important part of the upstairs at Mom’s since day one. So it’s a huge honor (and a lot of fun) to be the home of the Sticky Art Machine.
Socks are arguably the most important article of clothing in the history of mankind, ESPECIALLY because they keep our feet warm during these cold winter months! Every January we honor this unparalleled garment that makes our tootsies feel AND look good by transforming regular socks into wacky customized sock puppet critters at FREE Sunday Arts & Crafts: Sock Puppets!
Bring your sock puppet creation to life with button eyes, luscious locks of hair, and random assortments of crafty bling from the world famous TMOMs Sunday Arts & Craft table! FREE fun for the WHOLE family, EVERY Sunday in January, ONLY at Tattooed Mom!
