COOP Wish List

Hello Cherished Supporters!

We are COOP - Nashville’s longest running, artist-led project space and curatorial collective, started back in 2010. As a non-profit, we are run by artist-members and we’re committed to expanding Nashville’s dialogue with contemporary art. We accomplish this by showcasing challenging, new, or under-represented artists and artworks.

It’s our desire to bring in unique perspectives that will help shift us into new ways of looking at life. Art tells a story, and there are many powerful and valuable stories that need to be heard, from voices that have been unheard. We’re happy to be a safe space that helps to curate and cultivate conversations of understanding and growth in the contemporary art world.

As we continue to grow, we welcome your support as a one time or monthly donor - every gift makes a difference - from helping us fulfill our Wish List for items that help us run the gallery -- to supporting our gallery artists and the monthly Artist Honorariums we pay to our exhibiting artists -- to providing Resources so we can keep the gallery doors open and the lights on (donated items in good working condition also work!)

We are funded by contributions from our members, donations from our supporters, and we are grateful recipients of a grant from Metro Arts. If you would like to purchase products listed below and have them delivered to the gallery or arrange delivery, please email us: [email protected].

We will gladly note your partnership with a donation from your company. Thank you!
