Become a Member
Gallery North, an artist-run cooperative gallery, is currently accepting membership applications from accomplished artists who are seeking an excellent venue to exhibit their work. Located on Main Street in beautiful downtown Edmonds, Gallery North provides a friendly atmosphere for customers to view and purchase exceptional artwork created by local artists.
What is an artist co-op?
A co-op has no single owner; rather, the gallery is run and owned by member artists. Member artists enjoy the camaraderie and support of fellow members and actively participate in the gallery’s operation. Each member artist is assigned a gallery job as well as gallery sales shifts. In addition, artists attend a monthly member meeting and provide a different selection of artwork each month.
Are you ready?
To be successful when applying for membership with Gallery North, you should be actively working on your art career and have experience exhibiting and selling your artwork. Before applying, it is also important that you have a consistent body of work and a sufficient inventory of completed work to change out your display each month for at least a year.
Member Contributions
Each artist is expected to pay a monthly contribution of $60, work artist-in-residence gallery shifts at least 3x per month, helping at receptions and Edmonds Art Walk, give input at a monthly member meeting, and volunteer for gallery tasks or projects, such as:
- Hanging Artwork and Shows
- Gallery Operations (Bookkeeping, Marketing, Maintenance, Training)
- Invitational Show Management
- Building Community Partnerships
New members will be matched with tasks according to their skills and preferences.
