I follow the SHINE Mural Festival on Instagram because I am just obsessed with the beautiful artwork that the artists give us to look at and I got a notification about there being a SHINE Year 7 Exhibit ending the next day at the Mize Gallery and I was all in.
I had never heard of the Mize Gallery before but that made it even better, a new local business and SHINE artwork. I wasn't sure what to expect because I didn't look up anything on the exhibit. When I got there I was surprised to see that all the pieces of art where circular, I was expecting bigger or more like a mural.
Each artist was given the circular canvas to told to make whatever they wanted. The exhibit was all artists, not just specific SHINE artists, which was awesome. All of them were so different and wonderful. I actually walked around the gallery twice. While I was there, one of the artist came in as her piece had already sold. I spoke with her briefly and she was the artist of the piece that I actually loved the most. It was really great to see so many of the pieces marked as sold already, not for me though. LOL.
Both artist and Chad were super nice and invited me to an opening the following week but unfortunately I wasn't able to attend. The gallery is worth checking out for the different exhibits that they will have and supporting the artists! read more
