Our Story

An Intimate experience 

Online Art Shows was created out of a simple, personal truth: not every artist wants to stand in a crowded gallery under bright lights, making small talk with strangers. But every artist wants their work to be enjoyed. To be visible. To matter to someone. Not every art lover wants to stand in a crowded gallery under bright lights, making small talk with strangers. But every art lover wants to find work to be enjoyed. To be visible. To matter to them.

This platform was built to fill that gap — a quiet, curated space where local art finds its way into real rooms, real businesses, and real lives, and becomes a real experience.

For the Introverted Artist

If you've ever felt like the traditional art world wasn't built for you, you're not alone. Online Art Shows was designed with you in mind — the artist who creates intimate experiences, who curates an escape into their world, and deserves the audience who seeks exactly what they are offering. A destination. An experience. A doorway to a personal art show hidden in plain sight awaiting to be discovered, explored. and enjoyed. 

Here, your art speaks for itself. We handle the placement, the partnerships, and the platform. You focus on creating.

Meet Erica Birch — Featured Artist 

Erica Birch is one of Online Art Shows' featured artists, and a key creative spirit whose experience helped shape this platform. If you are interested in becoming involved in this exciting endeavor reach out to us on info@onlineartshows.com.

Erica's work is guided by a meditative creative process shaped by personal experience and the spirit of childhood play. Her compositions explore the interplay between structure and fluidity, revealing different truths depending on the viewer's distance.

"In my practice, creating places me in a reflective state — sometimes observing, sometimes entering a world where a story or a memory or insight is given space both inside of me and outside of me to unfold.... sometimes with paint, sometimes with ink."
