Do you want to be a part of a vibrant and creative collective of artists from western Massachusetts and southern Vermont and New Hampshire? The Shelburne Arts Cooperative has been in operation since 1998. We are member owned and operated. Co-op Members must live within 50 miles of Shelburne Falls, MA.

Working Members run the gallery on a day-to-day basis. Working Members receive 70% of the sale of their work and are responsible for working an average of 12 hours a month in the gallery and/or on various tasks and committees. Non-Working Members receive 50% of the sale of their work. 

Annual dues for Working Members are $50. Annual dues for Non-Working Members are $80. Members tag their work and are responsible for keeping track of and updating their inventory in the gallery. 

Our Members meet every other month (the first Tuesday of January, March, April, June, August, October and December), to coordinate and manage the Co-op's operation. Members are encouraged to attend our Members Meetings where planning, updates and jurying are discussed. Non-Working Members are welcome to participate in monthly meeting discussions, but do not have the right to vote.

If you are interested in joining our Cooperative, please email at least 5 images representative of your work to SAC01370@gmail.com. The total size of the images you send should not be more than 7 MBytes. In your email, include a description and retail price of each image and a short bio. Your work must be original and created by you. If you are submitting framed art, please describe your framing technique. Also indicate whether you want to be a Working Member or a Non-Working Member. Include your web address, if you have a website. 

JURY CRITERIA:  
Originality
Technique, Quality and Craftsmanship
Sense of Color and Design
Marketability
Fit/Appropriateness with Gallery
Price Range

If we feel your work will be a good fit for our Co-op, you will be invited to bring at least 5 pieces of your work with retail prices to the Co-op for jurying by our Members.  Please drop your work off between the 10th and the 20th of the month.  When you drop off your work at the Co-op, you will also complete a jury form. There is a $5 jury fee to cover administrative costs. 

An invitation to be juried is not a guarantee your work will be accepted. If your work is not accepted, we ask that your work be picked up within 7 days of the date your work was juried.
