In 2018 Shea was selected to participate in the CSArt Share program coordinated by the City of Cambridge, Cambridge Arts Council. "Community Supported Art takes the model of buying a farm share to help support local agriculture and adapts it to supporting art-making in our community. Buy one of our shares and you get fresh, high-quality art at a reasonable price. Your purchase supports local artists, your neighbors, working right here in Cambridge. Which helps keep Cambridge creative."

From 2011-2017 Shea was the Assistant Director of the Cambridge Art Association (CAA). Within that position Shea managed the daily operations of a non-profit visual arts gallery. CAA currently includes 500+  members and produces over 25 exhibitions a year at the Kathryn Schultz Gallery, University Place Gallery (as well as satellite locations). 

Fall of 2015 Shea co-curated two exhibitions at the Nave Gallery, Somerville Massachusetts, in November and December 2015  for emerging female artists. Reclamation I and Reclamation II (click here to see more information).
