GET TO KNOW
THE ART SHAC
Our Story
A group of artists in Winston-Salem wanted a place where art was accessible and supplies were affordable to everyone in the community. So they decided to create that place. But it was also important to them that their place would be built on green practices. So they learned about “up-cycling,” which is the conversion of used materials into something new. And they decided that’s what the community needed, a Second Hand Art Cooperative. And The Art SHAC was born.
