Let's get together and feel all right



Vitrina- A cooperative artist's shop



Sometimes dreams come true. Than they are no dreams anymore and one has to work hard to make them live. The long way to get together and feel all right!

In October, I wrote a post about cooperation and my wish to create a cooperative of artists where I live.

On March 1^st I am going to join VITRINA, a cooperative shop that will include eight artists; two ceramic artists, one fashion designer, two jewelers (including me), one soft recycled material artist and one who does great items for children. Another participant will curate and purchase items of artists outside the group.

Sharing expenses and working hours

This shop has been working for the last two years but is going to go through a dramatic change when doubling the number of participants at the beginning of March.

The basic idea of this cooperative is to share expenses such as  rent, advertisement, accounting, packaging as well as working hours at the shop. No incomes are shared.

The group gets together once a week in order to get to an approved agreement we are going to sign, share the shop's space between the artists, redecorate the shop and create display facilities for the changing needs and to get to know each other.

We are all very excited about this experience and believe our dream has come true.

Communicating in order to make a dream come true

Wish us luck!
