Opened in September 2014, Shadow Office is a brick and mortar home base for Shipping + Receiving, the art collective of Torreya Cummings, Cristalle Irons, Audrey Nieh and HR Smith. With the main window operating as a sometimes gallery, sometimes gathering, sometimes retail space, the back rooms serve as artist studios. Instead of keeping things narrowly focused, their motto is “Whatever, We Do What We Want.” So far, Shadow Office has played host to a pig roast, a sale of ceramic wares and beautiful embroidery work by local artist Lauren Hartman. “The only criteria is that we believe in it,” writes Cummings.
