Visit our fall show, “The Colors of Shelby”!
This show will offer loyal Shelby supporters and nature enthusiasts the chance to own original artwork, painted 'en plein air' in this beloved community park. Participating local Chestnut artists donate almost half of the funds generated from art sales to support Friends of Shelby’s efforts to preserve and enhance Shelby Park and Bottoms native ecosystems, historic resources, and recreational improvements.
