The whole idea of the Thriving Artist Cooperative is that we can do more together than on our own.
We are a not-profit LLC set up to bring art, culture, and education to Cocke County residents and help very small artists connect with a customer base via our gallery space.
Your contribution to the Thriving Artist Cooperative efforts can be of any size, and will make a big difference in our work to transform our community through art, culture, and education.
Make a one-time donation to the Thriving Artist Cooperative or deepen your impact and consider becoming a sustaining donor by making a recurring gift.
Another option is to come in person and donate something on our wish list:

RENT THE CO-OP
The Thriving Artist Cooperative administration is focused on changing the economic status of individual small artists by offering a gallery space to display their art while simultaneously being able to involve the community at large in artist-led classes. These are not only classes one might typically think of as art, such as fine art, but also folk art and homesteading culture that we might consider fading rural arts, such as gardening, carding, spinning wool into yarn, home brewing, fermentation and more.
Event space rental is available when availability allows. We have a large room with both soft comfortable seating and cafeteria style seating. All of our tables and seating are easily arrangeable into whatever configuration works for your event. Our dark walls and brightly colored tapestries make wonderful backgrounds for photographs. Our restrooms are fully accessible.
Please contact us well in advance of your event using this form, as working members of the cooperative have priority for use of this space.
