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 dreamed 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 in Morehead City and the dream became a reality.  In 2019 the gallery relocated to  814 Arendell St., Morehead City, NC and in 2022 we acted on a new opportunity to grow by merging with the Arts Council of Carteret County. We are now located in a new gallery within the Arts Council Art Center at 1702 Arendell St.

       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.  Now we offer classes to adults and school age children as well as offering exhibiting opportunities to high school students.
