Tonight: Opening of Pork Chop, a Fishtown art gallery

Don't forget about what Carolyn Huckabay told you in this week's Kaleidoscope:

Self-described "rogue taxidermist" Beth Beverly and her cohorts have unveiled Pork Chop, a Fishtown artist collective brimming with ragtag potential. This Thursday they'll host a group art show ($5 to enter), complete with aerial dance, bottomless beer cups and a pi'ata filled with "alterna-treats," whatever that means. They've got a Facebook page, but we suggest you wing it. Just wander up to 1536 N. American St., pop your head in Pork Chop's door and see where the night takes you.

It goes from 7 to 10 p.m. Featured, local artists will include James Coughlin, Jen Procacci, Jimmy Comey, Natasha Mell-Taylor and some others. And whaddya know? One of Comey's comics (pictured) was picked to be part of our Comics Issue two years ago. (Speaking of, have you seen the '09 version?) Click the jump to see images from Procacci and Coughlin.

Though these pieces won't be in the show (as far as we know), but works by these same artists will be, so hopefully they'll give you a taste of what the gallery will be like:
