You Don't Have to Figure Out the Art World Alone
​
The art world doesn't have to feel like an impossible maze you're navigating by yourself.
​
I'm Kristine Schomaker—artist, curator, connector and advocate. For over a decade, I've been planting seeds with artists who refuse to let their work remain invisible.
​
Here's what I know to be true: community and education are as essential as your paintbrush.
​
We're Building Something Different
Shoebox Arts isn't just another art service. We're a movement where artists support each other, share resources, and refuse to accept that making art
means struggling alone.
​
We believe your talent deserves more than hope and hustle. It deserves strategy, community, and the kind of support that transforms artistic passion into sustainable career success.
