Shain Gallery

Nestled along Selwyn Avenue in Myers Park, Shain Gallery is a testament to Charlotte’s art scene. Founded in 1998 by Gaby Shain, the gallery has been a cornerstone for art enthusiasts everywhere. In 2013, Sybil Wornall joined Shain Gallery as its manager, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective from nearly a decade in Atlanta’s art world, including significant roles at The Madison Gallery and Anne Irwin Fine Art. A native Charlottean, Wornall’s return to her hometown marked a new chapter for the gallery. Her passion and vision culminated in her purchasing the gallery in 2017, following Shain’s retirement. Wornall’s knack for spotting emerging talent and her dedication to nurturing artists has solidified the gallery’s reputation not just locally, but across the United States. The gallery’s ability to adapt to Charlotte’s dynamic growth, while maintaining deep connections with longtime collectors, is a hallmark of its success. The gallery’s commitment to understanding and catering to the tastes of its collectors ensures it will remain a cherished destination for art lovers.
