How do artists become members of the Owen Sound Artists Co-op?
The Co-op is operated by artists who live in Grey and Bruce Counties, in Southern Ontario. When an artist applies for membership, he or she brings some examples to the store and the Co-op Board of Directors discuss the work at their monthly meeting. If they think that the work would fit in well with the mix of artworks already in the store, the artist is invited to show his or her work at the store for a month as a Guest Artist. If the artist and the store are happy with the way the trial month worked out, the artist is invited to join the Co-op as a full member.
