Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC
The Shain Gallery first opened its doors in 1998 and since then it has become known as the finest provider of contemporary art in Charlotte. The gallery shows artwork by over twenty local and national artists who cover most of the art genres between them. Opening times are 10am until 5pm Monday through to Saturday and there is always an expert on hand to help with buying decisions.
Each month the Shain Gallery profiles one or a small number of artists and presents their work as an exhibition. All works are for sale to private and commercial buyers and they are guaranteed to be unique. You can choose from landscapes, still life, portraits, visions of Southern Culture and many others in a number of mediums including oils, water color, pastels and pencil. Some of the featured artists are incredibly sought after and it may be that the Shain Galley is the only place you can purchase their work in North Carolina.
Admission to the gallery is free and even if you aren't looking to buy any artwork it is still worth a visit as the pieces on display are a must see for all art lovers. September sees the annual small paintings and beginners collecting show at the Gallery and this exhibition is just a small part of the Visual Art Season held in Charlotte each year. During the month of September many of the galleries in Charlotte open their doors during the evening so that visitors can go from one to the next and appreciate the artwork in each.
