Our Story
Risen Shine Gallery was founded in January 2020 with the goal of creating a casual and freeform space in which local artists in the DFW area could exhibit their work. The original space was an abandoned studio, with the last name "Risen" on a label outside the entrance. Due to a global shift in accessibility of community spaces, Risen Shine has rolled with the punches and become an online gallery. We plan to host shows with a wide range of artists through our Instagram (risenshinegallery), making art as accessible as possible during uncertain times. We are excited to see what is possible as we celebrate the art community of which we so love to be a part.
