There are twelve rental spots in the Cooperative Gallery. The approximate size of each is 6x8 feet, although some are larger. Rental of these spaces is for a period of three months at at time and work is regularly rotated in and out - or moved to a different spot. The price of rental space is generally $50 per month. Artists who live nearby can hang their own work. Artists who are not local can ship work at their expense and we will hang the work. Spaces are usually full and you should book ahead and expect to rent sometime during the next six months. Click here to rent a spot in the Cooperative Gallery. Rental space can be shared by up to three people, who may split the cost.

Scheduled Exhibition in the Main Hall

Artist Reception in the Main Hall Stage Area

Above Photos of the Main Hall during January (2010) Artists' Reception - the stage area can be used for exhibit, but was used for live music for this particular Reception.

The Main Hall measures about 50 x 15 feet, including the stage area. Artist-Members are given preference to hang in the regularly scheduled exhibits, which are generally booked 6-12 months in advance. Anyone, from any country, may apply. There is no fee to exhibit in the Main Hall, but artists are strongly advised to participate in the publicity and promotion part of the exhibition planning. Artists who do not participate in the Publicity aspect will be asked to pay a 50% commission on sales. Artists who do participate in the publicity programme pay a 33-40% commission on sales, depending on their degree of participation. Participation in the Publicity Programme generally costs between $100 and $250. We have found that the more publicity there is for an event, the more sales there are. Gallery Shows may be solo, two-person, or group. Groups are required to pay a management fee of $150, in addition to being required to participate in the Publicity Programme. Apply here for an exhibit in the Main Hall.

Web Page (Artist Members)

Any artist, from any country, may join as a Supporting Member of the Gallery and is then entitled to a web page presence (their own page, up to 8 images per year, no ads). Fees for being a supporting member are generally $95 a year. Discounts or Waivers are available for those who do not feel they can pay, but still want to be an Artist-Member. Apply Here.

The Gallery has a two-seat, permanent video installation ("The Cube") in the Main Hall. It is like a small, private theatre featuring about 10-15 minutes worth of presentations. Presentations range from the current "Artist Interview" series to lively slide show presentations featuring a particular artist, experimental photography presentations, and "techinique demonstration" video. One of the most poular video presentations in 2009 and continuing in 2010, is the Time-Lapse photography of John Todd (UK). Presentations are changed every 30 days, so that there is fresh video for each First Friday Art Night event. Generally there are 5-8 video's on the playlist. There is no fee to participate in "The Cube" presentations. However, artists or video producers must submit their work in specific formats. More information is available on the Application Form.
