The Pocahontas County Artisan Cooperative opened its doors in May, 2007. Based in Green Bank, West Virginia, the co-op showcases the or
iginal work of artists
and
craftspeople from Pocahontas County and the surrounding region. Artists whose work is on display at the cooperative get to keep 100 percent of the procedes from the sale of their artwork. Instead of charging a commission on artists’ work, the gallery is supported through the payment of modest monthly dues by all members. Members are also asked to work at least one day each month to keep the gallery open. This provides a unique opportunity for visitors to the gallery to meet and talk to the artists.
On weekends, visitors might also catch a glimpse of one of the artists working with metal in a portable forge, carving wood or demonstrating one of the other many mediums featured at the gallery.
The Cooperative is the perfect place to find that special gift or a unique piece to take home.
