This will be the first group show in a full program of exhibitions to hit the newly refurbished pleasure-dome decree SPANISH CITY. We will call this an introduction. A bigger splash is yet to come... 
 
SHELF SPANISH CITY gallery is situated on the mezzanine of the SPANISH CITY dome and will operate as a curatorial residency space for nomadic and regional collectives. Each residency is approximately 2 months where a given collective can utilize the gallery as if their own. As such SHELF SPANISH CITY will hold a dynamic free program of emerging artistic talent. Like Darryl Hannah in the movie Splash-most of us are juggling different roles to keep our heads above water.  Each member of each of the collectives working with us to program a dynamic year of fabulous exhibitions at Shelf Spanish City are also artists.  We are therefore using our first exhibition Splash to showcase our mermaids.  Each of these artists will get a chance to shake their tails before slipping their fins back into their curatorial shoes.
