Welcome! I’m Cory Munro Shea — a working visual artist, arts administrator, and co-founder of the sister-run pop-up shop, Munro Market.
I’ve spent the last 15+ years building a dual career rooted in both personal creative practice and public-facing arts leadership. As an exhibiting artist, my work explores themes of inheritance, matrilineal storytelling, and memory, often blending collage, textile, and ceramic processes. My pieces have been featured in galleries, pop-up shows, and public art spaces throughout New England.
Alongside my studio practice, I’ve developed a career in arts administration, creating opportunities for artists, managing cultural programs, and advocating for inclusive access to the arts. Since 2024, I’ve served as the Director of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy for the Town of Franklin, Massachusetts, where I support creative entrepreneurs, coordinate public art initiatives, and help shape the cultural identity of the region.
All of this experience culminates in Munro Market — a creative collaboration with my sister that brings together our love of art, vintage collecting, and storytelling. It’s part art studio, part treasure trove: a celebration of handmade objects, whimsical finds, and the joy of doing what we love together.
Thank you for visiting — I invite you to explore, connect, and find something meaningful along the way.
