Cooperative Gallery 213 was founded in 2000 in Binghamton, NY to provide exhibition space, support and community for our member artists.
We are a self-supporting institution, staffed and maintained by member artists. We are organized as a 501(c)4 organization and keep the lights on through member dues, fundraising and sales commissions.
Commission on all work sold from the gallery is 20%.
We currently offer two levels of membership.
Supporting Membership
Supporting Memberships are $35/year and are always open. All you need to join is an interest in supporting the arts.
If you are an artist, a Supporting Membership can be a way to meet and work with other artists, show your work at a prime gallery location, and enjoy support from both the gallery and the larger arts community.
As a Supporting Member of Cooperative Gallery 213, you can be as active as you choose to be; as hands-on or hands-off as you like.
Benefits for Supporting Members
- A supportive community of area creatives
- Space in our annual All-Member show and other group shows
- Opportunities to partner with exhibiting members to use our gallery space
- Discount rates on events, workshops and juried shows
- Input into the future direction of our programming and events

Join us as Supporting Member
To join us as a Supporting member, please provide the information below. Registering helps us keep in touch and connect you with other artists and opportunities at the gallery. Registered members can claim a spot in our member directory and receive mailings from the gallery.
After you register, you will be directed to a payment page where you can complete your transaction.
Exhibiting Membership
Exhibiting Memberships are limited in number and share in the responsibility of running the gallery. Exhibiting Members are working artists who go through an interview, jury, and voting process to join.
In turn, exhibiting members can expect a solo or shared show once every membership cycle, and the opportunity to exhibit at least one work each month in the shared members’ gallery space.
There are openings only when someone leaves the gallery organization. You can submit an Exhibiting Membership at any time; just know it may take some time before a spot opens up.
Expectations for Exhibiting Members
- Sit at the gallery six times each year
- Serve on at least one committee
- Remain a member for at least one gallery cycle
- Attend annual and full member meetings
- Support other members’ shows and gallery events
- Dues for a solo membership are $450/year
- Dues for a shared membership are $225/year
