The Collaborative Gallery is located at 4 Market St & 508 Main St, Warren, RI
Our Market St. gallery features our Collaborators and youth artist of the month. Our LAB at Main features workshops, learning opportunities, and other events for Collaborators and the community. This space also exhibits the Feature Artist of the month as well as artist collaborators.
There are two ways to exhibit with us:
Artist Collaborator
Collaborators exhibit in our gallery for a minimum of two months and are essential in keeping the gallery open by staffing the gallery. The Collaborative takes a 30% commission on any work sold.
Feature Artist
Feature Artists exhibit in the Gallery for a term of one month, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Artist and Gallery Coordinator. We install, promote your work through social media, create promotional materials and facilitate an artist’s reception on the first Thursday of the month. The Collaborative takes a 40% commission on any work sold during the exhibit.
