Coop is Nashville’s longest-established, artist-run project space and curatorial collective, established in 2010.

Vision:

COOP is committed to expanding Nashville’s dialogue with contemporary art through programming that presents challenging, new, or under-represented artists/artworks.

Mission:

COOP creates a dialogue between Nashville and art scenes across the country by inviting artists to exhibit, develop projects, and interact with the Nashville community.  COOP presents artists of diverse media, content, and backgrounds in a non-commercial space.

COOP is a non-profit, 501C3 organization. We are funded by contributions from our members and donations from our supporters, and we are grateful recipients of grants from Metro Arts, the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, and the Hays Foundation.
