ARTISTS CO-OP

The Sunrise Gallery is run as a not-for-profit organization along the lines of an artists Co-op.

Purpose

The purpose of the Sunrise Gallery Co-op is to provide an environment where local artists can

  1. share ideas
  2. create art
  3. socialize
  4. exhibit art
  5. present/attend workshops/courses
  6. learn about art
  7. educate the public about art

The Sunrise Gallery Co-op strongly supports the principles underlying the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.
