26 years serving the Charlotte community

NESTLED ALONG SELWYN AVENUE IN MYERS PARK, Shain Gallery is a testament to Charlotte’s art scene. Founded in 1998 by Gaby Shain, the gallery has been a cornerstone for art enthusiasts, evolving with the city while maintaining its commitment to showcasing exceptional talent. In 2013, Sybil Wornall joined Shain Gallery as its manager, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective from nearly a decade in Atlanta’s art world, including significant roles at The Madison Gallery and Anne Irwin Fine Art. A native Charlottean, Wornall’s return to her hometown marked a new chapter for the gallery. Her passion and vision culminated in her purchasing the gallery in 2017, following Shain’s retirement. Under Wornall’s leadership, the gallery has flourished, tripling its business and expanding its roster of artists. Wornall’s knack for spotting emerging talent and her dedication to nurturing artists has solidified the gallery’s reputation not just locally, but across the United States. The gallery’s ability to adapt to Charlotte’s dynamic growth, while maintaining deep connections with longtime collectors, is a hallmark of its success. “We have clients come in all the time saying their grandparents had works from Shain Gallery,” says Wornall. Shain Gallery continues to cultivate relationships with artists and clients nationwide. The gallery’s commitment to understanding and catering to the tastes of its collectors ensures it will remain a cherished destination for art lovers.
