Virtual Exhibits
The ShenArts community might not currently be able to gather to experience works of art, but local art is still thriving. Our member artists are hard at work creating during these unprecedented times, many doing their part to offer beauty, understanding, and escape for all of us through their artwork. ShenArts hopes to help fill a void that social distancing has created by offering the opportunity to participate virtually in exhibitions, sell their work via our website, and interact with our community directly. Now more than ever the need to explore and express through art has a great impact on us all, and those who create these works need our support to manage these unusual times until we can once again be together.
