Garden of Earthly Delights: Celebrating 15 Years of Coop is our annual fundraiser held on Friday, April 25 at 6:30 PM at the Packing Plant in Wedgewood-Houston. We aim to fund exhibitions featuring under-represented and emerging artists during our 2026 season and celebrate COOP’s 15th Anniversary as an artist-run gallery.

As Nashville's oldest artist-run project space and curatorial collective, COOP is dedicated to advocating on behalf of under-represented contemporary artists. We offer a non-commercial space for experimentation, where artists can dream, inspire, provoke, and foster new growth. 

Our goal for this event is to raise $10,000 to award monthly exhibiting artists at COOP in 2026. This funding is vital to providing supplemental income to the artists who live among us but struggle to support their professional development due to limited opportunities and increasing costs. Proceeds will fund 10 monthly exhibiting artists in 2026.

Every donation truly does make a huge difference and contributes to the success of our local artist community. We look forward to seeing you at COOP Gallery on Friday, April 25!
