Before applying, please note the following membership guidelines: The ShenArts Artist Co-op is committed to showcasing original, high-quality artwork created by its members. Artists are expected to provide their original work within the gallery. While reproductions such as prints and cards are permitted, they must be derived from the artist’s original pieces and serve as a complement—not a substitute—for original art.
Due to the shared nature of our gallery space, we generally limit two-dimensional artwork to a maximum size of 36" x 36" to ensure we can exhibit a diverse range of artists; exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, as part of our cooperative agreement, accepted members agree not to sell their artwork at other locations on the Walking Mall (North Loudoun Street between Cork Street and Piccadilly Street).
These guidelines help us maintain a cohesive, vibrant gallery experience and ensure fairness and visibility for all participating artists.
