The Co-op Café
Now open! Our bright and airy café space is a great place to relax, meet others, and enjoy our cooperative community. You may sit and enjoy a food or beverage after purchasing it from the store, and we offer free wi-fi for those of you that need a place to work and connect. We have clean dishes, mugs, and utensils, plus a sink and microwave for customer use. We also regularly host meetings, events, and classes in the cafe, as well as a bi-monthly art display featuring work by local artists and photographers.
Co-op Art Gallery
What makes our Co-op Art Gallery different? Besides being located in a bright and busy hub of the community with lots of visitors, we feature only local artwork, and we take only minimal commission so that our featured artists retain 95% of the profit. Framed artwork makes a lovely gift, and buying local art also helps our creative community grow and flourish!
If you are a local artist and would like to display your work at the Co-op, please fill out this form and include a link to your portfolio, samples of your work, and an artist statement or bio.
Cyanotypes by Linda Bryan
Through September and October we’ll be featuring a collection of cyanotypes by local photographer and printmaker Linda Bryan. Linda’s work is primarily influenced by Vermont’s landscape, culture, and diverse seasons. Bryan uses many tools for her art practice, from vintage film cameras and alternative processes, to digital montage and cell phone photography. Bryan also incorporates printmaking techniques like woodblock and solar plate intaglio into her projects. Bryan currently teaches digital, darkroom, and alternative photographic processes through local art centers, public events, private tutorials, and workshops. Learn more about Linda’s work by following her on Instagram, or visit her website at redhousestudio.com.
Linda’s artwork is also available for purchase through the Co-op. What makes our Co-op Art Gallery different?
