Organised by Design District

With a collaborative working relationship that spans 15 years, artists Ben Sheppee and Shantell Martin will present their first physical exhibition together at Design District between 22nd – 31st October.

Side By Side will include both collaborative and individual projects by the two artists in the form of animation, video-based installation, AR works, NFTs, and wall-based prints and originals.

In ‘Conversations’, Ben and Shantell will talk about the exhibition and their collaborative works to date, as well as their recent involvement in the world of NFTs. Towards the end of the event there will be an opportunity for the audience to present questions to the artists during a short Q&A session.

About Ben Sheppee
