Art Gallery on Pendleton Square is a co-op (co-operative) gallery, meaning that its member artists are involved in and dedicated to the success of the Gallery as a whole, as well as in their own personal success. Selection of members is based on the quality and consistency of their creative work and their willingness to participate in the day-to-day operations of the gallery.

Information for Prospective Members

Since everything from hosting the gallery’s monthly Second Friday events to sweeping the floors is voluntarily carried out by member artists, volunteerism is an essential factor in the selection process. Enthusiasm, generosity of spirit, and cooperative effort have made Art Gallery on Pendleton Square a success since it began in 2014.

The Pendleton Square Artists Cooperative currently offers two types of opportunities to artists:

• Working Artist Member:
  As a cooperative, our primary membership is made up of Working Artist Members. Working Artist Members have a voice in the operations of the gallery and artist cooperative. They pay monthly dues, work shifts in the gallery and pay a low commission rate of 15% on sales. New working artists begin with a three-month trial period for orientation and training. The goal of the trial period is to make sure the relationship is a good fit for both the artist and the gallery.
• Non-Working/Commission Only Artist:
  Non-working/Commission Only Artists are occasionally invited to join the gallery to expand our current offerings or fill gaps in specific mediums. Non-working artists pay a commission rate of 40% and have no other commitment to the gallery. Non-working artists may be invited as a Guest Artist for a single month or asked to stay for a longer term or on an on-going basis.
