Where We Work
Alison Shaw Photography is newly re-located in an upstairs loft space above our gallery at 88 Dukes County Avenue in the heart of the Oak Bluffs Arts District. In case the gallery's not open, ring the doorbell around the side of the building, and we'd be happy to invite you in and show you the gallery and studio space. Or call ahead to make an appointment (508) 693-4429.
