Crow Town Gallery
2020, Lubec, Maine
Shanna purchased long-established Crow Town Gallery in Lubec where she had been a resident artist. Former owners Bonnie and Ukey laid the foundation with emphasis on community which Shanna wishes to continue. The 2018/19 seasons included live concerts produced by Cobscook Bay Music, a raku-firing event open to the public, and a holiday artisan market featuring local talent. There are lots of great things in the works for 2020!
