SHAPE ART GALLERY

SHAPE – Shippensburg Arts Programming & Education – Founded 1999 – As a town grows both in population and in reputation it is only natural for an arts organization to emerge and take shape. Thus in 1999, SHAPE was founded when a few business owners, university faculty members and local artists got together. They recognized a need for an organization to promote the arts in Shippensburg. Since its inception, SHAPE has hosted close to 100 gallery exhibits, held hundreds of art classes, organized house tours, arts events, culminating with the creation of the annual Solstice Arts Festival. – Thank you to all who support us in our endeavor to enhance the cultural impact of Shippensburg. We continue to grow and evolve with the support and generosity of our members and local businesses, and look forward to continuing our current programs while expanding in the near future to meet the increasing demands of the arts scene in Shippensburg. – MISSION STATEMENT:To enrich the quality of life in the Shippensburg community through interactive cultural, artistic, and heritage activities by coordinating arts activities of all media, serving as an information center for the arts, promoting and supporting local artists and arts organizations, providing opportunities for participation and education in the arts for all members of the community, and playing an active role in helping our schools maintain the arts as an integral part of their curriculum.
