No Shelf Life 2026

No Shelf Life is an interactive exhibition exploring the creative process behind finished artwork. Rather than focusing only on completed pieces, the exhibition highlights sketches, drafts, experiments, and other moments of unseen creative labor that shape every final work.

The exhibition features a small group of honorary artists, each presenting their process alongside a finished piece, while a growing digital gallery invites artists from the community to contribute work of their own. Throughout the event, visitors can experience how ideas evolve, discover the stories behind creative practice, and become part of an expanding archive celebrating the work that usually goes unseen.

No Shelf Life is independently curated by Shai and supported through the Moore College of Art & Design Leadership Fellowship.
