the cooperative
Chartreuse is a co-operative art gallery, jointly owned and operated by all its members. Members contribute their time and talent to all aspects of running the gallery. This includes staffing the gallery, designing and building the display space, running the business, public relations, organizing open houses and guest artist exhibitions. You name it, we do it, oh and the art too!
mailing list
We send out open house invitations and other local art news to customers on our mailing list. If you’d like to be on our mailing list, please subscribe here. We will not use your email address for any other purpose.
membership
Artists residing within 50 miles of St Joseph, Michigan, are eligible to apply for membership. The membership committee reviews applications twice yearly, in February and August. Candidates are shortlisted based on the current needs of our co-op, and shortlisted candidates will be invited to the gallery to present their artwork. Please submit only photographs with your application, do not submit any original artwork. Pick up an application form in person at the gallery or download it here (pdf: 60k).
guest artists
From time to time, we invite selected artists to exhibit their work in our gallery, typically for a two-month period. We hold an opening reception for the artist and feature images of their work here on our website. If you wish to be considered for our guest artist program, please email for more information. Send email to: chartreusecoop@gmail.com. Both local and national artists are welcome to apply.
