What's Culture Shock?!

Our DayDreamers Program, originally established to increase the business acumen of the artist we represent, has evolved into a member managed Art Gallery and Shop in Downtown Statesville. Click the link below to follow Culture Shock on our App.

Why This? Why Now?

Have you been Downtown recently? If you have, you may have noticed a bit of growth in terms of culture, art, and tourism. Growth is essential to sustainability and we're committed to ensuring that the voices of BIPOC communities are heard, their art showcased, and ideas valued as we contribute to overall goals of Downtown Statesville.

More than ever our communities need leadership, positive impact, and innovative thinking to eradicate the lack of access, belonging, and identity we feel when touring downtown. Culture Shock gives US a space; created FOR US, BY US.
