our story, a short video ...............  

   History

​         In 1999, a group of five women who met in a watercolor class began to meet regularly to paint.  They dreamt of having a place where artists could meet, show their work, hold classes and promote the arts in this coastal community.  

        Pooling their talents and money, they rented space at 800 Evans Street and the dream became a reality.  

       Today, the co-op continues to nurture emerging artists, giving them an opportunity to show and sell their work in our professional gallery space. The Gallery enjoys a steady stream of visitors.  Vacationers and local residents purchase art and gifts.  Nonmember artists frequently stop in for inspiration.  ​
 Community Outreach 
   
   As a 501 c3 non-profit,  the co-op maintains a community outreach component; “Bringing  art to life, and life to art.” 
   We have for many years offered clay art classes for Special needs adults.  This class and a painting class have been offered recently at a donated studio space on Mulberry Street, Beaufort, NC. 
   Unfortunately we have lost that donated space and our classes have been
suspended until we are given another studio space. Our needs are simple-space for using clay or paint and a sink!
   If you can make this space donation, or have an idea of where to find that space please contact Lorraine McElroy,lorrainemcelroy48@gmail.com, 978-692-0142, CrystalWasley,cwasley@ec.rr.com, 252-729-1878. 
   We are ready and able to begin our classes again.  Thanks in advance for your help.
