Cooperative Gallery 213 was founded in 2000 in Binghamton, NY to provide exhibition space, support and community for our member artists.
As a cooperative, 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.
Membership Types
Supporting Member
Supporting Memberships 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. Be as hands-on or hands-off as you like. You’re always welcome

Exhibiting Member
Exhibiting Members are working artists who go through an interview, jury, and voting process to join.
Exhibiting Memberships are limited in number and share in the responsibility of running the gallery. In turn, a member can expect a solo or shared show once every membership year (16-19 months) 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.
