Are you interested in joining us here at  ArtWorks? 

We are thrilled to receive many requests for joining our cooperative and we just wish we had the space to accommodate everyone in our space on Fraley Street!  
​We have worked on writing down our priorities to help both potential members and the membership committee decide what is most suitable here at ArtWorks on the Summit.  We have a review process which includes submission of work samples.  If you are wondering if you are a fit for our cooperative there are a few things to consider.
