Thorn & Moon Magickal Market featuring Robert Dampier and Two Star Symphony

Thorn and Moon Market is a carefully curated, ever-changing, recurring monthly event of featured special guests, DJs/performers, local artists and artisan vendors, many of the occult variety, and of a beautifully haunting, dark aesthetic.

It is a social event / meetup for those in the pagan and Dark underground community, for like-minded people, or anyone interested in a unique new perspective or meeting interesting new people.

There is so much to see, network, learn, and shop!

This FREE event takes place First Fridays every month at Avantgarden, 411 Westheimer Rd. Houston, TX 77006

Come stop in for a spell!

More Magickal vendors! New artists! Oddities! Witchcrafted goods! Jewelry! Food truck! Local handcrafted artisans! Mystics and Readers! Absolutely unique items you won't find anywhere else!

We are proud to host an artist's reception / solo art exhibition highlighting the magnificent work of famed artist, Robert Dampier Studio, from Galveston, TX, who creates amazing three-dimensional assemblage pieces from found objects, with intellectual and esoteric themes, a steampunk feel, and fantastic old world imagery. He was commissioned for his assemblage work to create unique props which are featured in the upcoming Universal Pictures film, "The House with the Clock In Its Walls" starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, scheduled to be released September 2018. Dampier’s esteemed work is a must-have for any serious art collector.

The reception takes place upstairs from 7pm-midnight. During the reception, there will be an intimate performance at 9pm by the whimsically macabre string quartet, Two Star Symphony.

We also welcome Guest DJ Detra (San Antonio, TX) spinning darkwave/goth underground downstairs all night.

GOTH YOGA class by Christi of Hi-Lo Kick Studio will not take place his month, but will return soon to the market!
