Opening Day - Announcing the launch of Shine Time Studios

Happy 1/11! Today's the day for the Shine Time Studios intentional launch off!

For those that haven’t followed me on social media but happen to be finding me here, I’ll getcha updated.

Hi! I’m Shannon Shine! I moved to Princeton, WV part time in 2022 and have found myself spending a lot of time working with artists and creatives. I decided it was time to bring my gallery, art, and wellness center back to life here in this little appalachian town that’s got a lot of heart and soul. Creative ones at that.

If you’ve never been to Princeton, WV I suggest you check it out sometime., and it’s surrounding areas like Bluefield, Hinton and beyond. These old mountain hollers have a lot to offer.

That all said, Shine Time Studios art and wellness center is now located at 850 Mercer Street, Princeton West Virginia and I would love for you to come and check it out.

While you are here…. SHOUT OUT to Lacey of SilverArrow Art whom i will also be featuring at the gallery. Their help has been beyond helpful, more than I can words. This space wouldn’t be happening without Selo and Lacey. So forever grateful for their help!

This place is possible by not only my doing but many other creatives in the area. I am SO grateful for my friends!

I wouldn't be where I am without a little (probably more like tons honestly) help from my friends.

They keep me grounded, inspired, and cheer me on endlessly.

I hope to continue to do that for them and my community as we open the doors today at 1pm!

People will mingle and enjoy a variety of fun, art , music, food, ceremony and magic and I hope make some new friends themselves!

It feels surreal and kinda like my birthday...but it's the birth of one of my passion babies and I'm so grateful to be the steward of this adventure and space for so many new things to grow from.

I know I've tried to say it a lot but if you've missed it I wanna make sure you hear my gratitude.

If you ever have supported me, continue to support me, or want to and are cheering me on from wherever you are.....THANK YOU.

Every little bit goes a long as at motivating me to keep on shining.

I often miss my family on these days, I know my momma and grandma and dad and beyond would be so excited to see these adventures of mine

But in my mommas honor I’ma keep shining this little light of mine, just as she asked me oh so many years ago.

So if you're not here to cheer me on, ya may wanna step away from my page cause im about to be shining like a Disco ball so bright ya might want some shades...cause it's Shine Time

Cya at 850 Mercer after 1pm today if you in the Princeton WV area!

Miss our opening day?

Forever grateful for so many people, and things.

For growing up a Lil girl who thought I'd be lonely with no support as I grew up an orphan with a wild journey, my soul family sure continues to show up for me.
