A few years ago several Saturday Market
Artists got together and created, from scratch, an Art Co-Op
in the Alberta District. They Named it Six Days because now
they had a place to sell their work six days a week,
as opposed to two. Since then our membership level has been
anywhere from 15-20 members and we are constantly growing
and changing.
We
are an art co-op, with a Board of Directors which means
all members share responsibilities including working in
the store, paying rent and making decisions regarding how
the shop is run. We do not take work on consignment or wholesale.
Six
Days Artists Cooperative is currently seeking new members.
We are looking for quality artists who want to be a part
of a gallery that relies on its members for mutual support.
Dedication to making the store successful is important and
we look forward to growing with new, inspiring, talented
artists.
Unlike
many cooperative art galleries, all of our members’
artworks are on view year-round, instead of for isolated
shows. We are very active participants in Last Thursday
activities and events. We will soon be offering classes
and workshops. Satellite artists are welcome to sign up
to set up a booth in front of our store as well.
Come check us out!

We
have found that artists who are resourceful and capable
of independent creative thinking as well as committed to
pulling their weight on a team are the ones who work out
best in our Co-op environment.
