Are you thinking about buying original art for the first time?

Not to brag but Coops are a great place to help you experiment with your walls and refine your taste. Prices are usually lower than commercial galleries because artists volunteer their time to man the store. We are not intimidating, that's for sure. Maybe not edgy like downtown but we have easy parking and there are 15 artists and 15 styles, a good selection of local art.

We love a good conversation; come and see what grabs you.

My sister and my Selkie songstress buddy from "my pod" came into the Gallery today.

Told me how to do the job better and bought a few art cards - what would we do without our friends and family in hard and in easy times?

It was a real joy to see them. Come and support the artists here starting a new venture or just appreciate the art while you are here. It's always great to see our friends and family. A great place to meet friends old and new.

Customer Comments

We love our new neighbours and look forward to meeting you!

People at the mall and in the office towers nearby have been so kind.

Share Bedford with us - it's a great place to explore. Our local artists are working now to capture the essence of the Bedford area - we would be very grateful for your suggestions regarding iconic scenes.

I have just returned from a Tai chi workshop in New Minas and I want to express my gratitude for the Asian influences in my life.

From the art that inspires me - visual art in my studio to ceramics in the kitchen (not to mention cuisine!) - I am so lucky. We are particularly blessed in the Coop to have artists with Asian roots who are our friends. We couldn't grow and thrive without you.
