SPECIAL EVENT HOSTING

About the Gallery:

The co-op is an artist run gallery. Artists volunteer time to staff the gallery and operate all aspects of the business. There are no gallery commissions, sales go directly to the artist. We also offer the unique opportunity for you to actually meet the creator of the art, because each person you’ll encounter is one of the artists.

We have 35 members who are selected by jury. We keep a balance of two-dimensional and three-dimensional artists who work in a variety of mediums. Most are seasoned artists with impressive resumes, some are new talents with bright futures. Most artists also show in nationwide shows, art fairs, and in commercial galleries on a local and national level. On a regular basis, each artist shows approximately 3-5 pieces. More pieces are shown in the artist’s biography book/portfolios (by the coffee table and chairs). Once a year, each artist will be “featured” with 2 or 3 other members. Exhibits change every month.

Admission is always FREE, even to our show openings which are usually on the first Saturday of every month.

Other details:

Generally, people stroll around the gallery. We do not have the facilities to provide tables and seating, though we do have some chairs for a lecture style set-up. If you choose a time when the gallery is already open, we do not close the gallery to the general public during your event. If you would prefer to have the gallery to yourself, please choose a time when we are not open to the public (normally Monday and Tuesday during the day and Wednesday evenings).
