The Co-op Café
(Temporarily Closed Due to Covid-19) 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
The Gallery is Open! 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.
