What is TSHOW?
TSHOW stands for Tyler Art Show — an international juried art exhibition currently hosted at Gallery Main Street in downtown Tyler, Texas. Originally established in 2017 as AASH (Arcadia Art Show), the exhibition produced eight editions, seven of which were held at the historic Arcadia Theater, home of the Martin Walker Law Firm headquarters. Following the closure of the Arcadia Theater, the exhibition evolved into TSHOW with a renewed vision under the organization of Tyler Art Lift, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the arts in East Texas. TSHOW.2 marks the second edition of Tyler Art Show and the tenth annual international juried exhibition overall.
