Local artists didn’t let the odd shape or small dimensions of coffin-shaped canvases inhibit their creativity for a group show at Grand Arthaus on Grand Avenue in downtown Phoenix.

The artworks debuted on First Friday in October and were also on display during November’s artwalk. In October, attendees were also able to color Halloween-themed pages and make masks.

Here’s a look at the scene at Grand Arthaus last month.

Visitors were invited to color.
