I never expected to find a gallery of this quality in Charlotte. I'm not saying that Charlotte is a backwater city, only that when it comes to art the Shain Gallery's quality is more akin to something I'd expect to see in New York or Los Angeles.
The owner is an amazing woman with a superb eye. The range of artwork she displays is fascinating and openly defies the mediocre galleries with their safe choices and lack of passion. I've been introduced to many talented artists with techniques I never knew existed because of this place.
No matter where I live in the world I will be a life long customer of this gorgeous gallery. And if you need an excuse to drag along a spouse who doesn't appreciate art you could always send him/her to the Yoforia around the corner or the Mellow Mushroom across the street.
Don't allow anyone to deny you the experience of this exceptional place.
