The Owen Sound Artists' Co-op, featuring 45+ local artists and a food gallery of local products, is an inviting place to shop and linger in the heart of the River District.
Located in the historic McKay building on 2nd Avenue East, a former dry goods store with a money rail, it has been a mecca for artists and art lovers for more than two decades.
Visitors and locals are drawn to the uniqueness of the space and the vast array of quality art and crafts by co-op members, including pottery, woodworking, jewelry, glass, textiles and sculpture, along with fine art in many mediums, from painting and collage to photography and printmaking. There is always an artist on duty when you visit, and most members are able to speak eloquently about their colleagues' work. Some have been involved for more than 20 years.
The Artists' Co-op is run by a not-for-profit volunteer group. It is open seven days a week, year-round.
