Welcome to the SHO Web site

"show":... to exhibit, to be seen, to perform, to demonstrate, to make a point... a place to SHO-off art! .

At The SHO you can find 2D & 3D original artwork ranging in price, prints, photography, jewellery, ceramics and wearable design/T-shirts. The venue also offers a range of inspirational products, such as creative literature/magazines, visually stimulating lifestyle accessories, vinyl art collectables and a fun collection of greeting cards. A mix of stuff that doesn’t take itself too seriously but fits the context.
