About
ShenArts invites artists of any age or level of experience who live in the Shenandoah Valley region it serves to submit up to three original works for ArtScape 18, its outdoor banner programme in downtown Winchester, Virginia. Juried selections are professionally photographed and printed on vinyl banners bearing the artist's and sponsor's names, with a corresponding gallery exhibition of the originals.
