The intention of this group is to provide a venue for local artists,
run by local artists, to benefit the artists directly. With a high-end urban meets westcounty flair merging fresh art with everything we love about where we live, this will be entirely new and energizing in nature.


> A QUICK OUTLINE OF OPERATION:

>A core membership with shared responsibilities in the gallery will
be the backbone of theCo-Op. Consignment status involvement will also be available with a percentage of sales going to the gallery, minus the store responsibilities

>The integrity of the content in the cooperative will be monitored
by a board of directors within the core membership group. New members as well as consignment will be jurried in and out. All mediums welcome with emphasis on originality and quality.

>Members will receive full price for their displayed works, be
responsible for an equal & fair share of the operating costs (rent, utilities, advertising) and share scheduled time in the gallery during hours of operation. A deposit and signed agreement of responsibility will be required upon membership approval.

> OUR CURRENT STATUS:
>
>The space has been acquired with a deposit in place and first
month's rent due in september. We have the time in between to fix the joint up.

>The gallery will be in Monte Rio on the 'triangle' across from the
theater, adjacent to Bloomers garden center and the beach parking lot.

>We need interested partisipants that want to get in on the ground
floor and help build a local artisan hub to come forward.

>We need money, material donations and vounteers to give the
place a facelift. Flooring, paint, and sheetrock are our most needed materials momentarily. Lighting and display are also on the list.

> Our founding group responsible for lighting and fueling the fire
are forward moving with a flury of great ideas waiting to be implemented and built upon.
