THE COVERT COLLECTION GALLERY
"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera" - Dorothea Lang
Welcome to The Covert Collection Artist Co-Op
Where Artists Lead, Community Thrives, and Art Finds Its True Home
The Covert Collection has entered a new chapter—one built on collaboration, creativity, and shared purpose. Now operating as an artist-run co-op, our gallery brings together a curated group of photographers and visual storytellers who believe in the power of community and the value of collective voice.
Here, every artist has a stake in the space. We shape the gallery together, contribute to its success, and support one another’s creative journeys.
This cooperative model strengthens our mission: to champion meaningful, authentic work and make fine art more accessible to collectors, local businesses, and the community we serve.
Our Mission
We exist to create a vibrant, supportive environment where artists can grow, showcase their work, and build connections—all while offering buyers a more personal, engaging experience with the art they bring into their lives.
Our goals are simple:
Empower artists through shared opportunity, collaboration, and fair representation.
Foster community by creating a space where creativity and conversation thrive.
Deliver exceptional artwork that reflects diverse perspectives, techniques, and approaches.
Build trust with collectors by offering transparency, authenticity, and a direct connection to the artists themselves.
Why a Co-Op Model?
For Artists
A co-op removes barriers. It replaces high commissions and limited visibility with shared responsibility, equal voice, and collective growth. Artists benefit from:
Lower overhead and equitable commission structures
More control over how their work is displayed and marketed
A supportive, collaborative environment
Opportunities for shared events, exhibitions, and community reach
For Collectors & Buyers
Purchasing from a co-op means you’re not just buying art—you’re supporting the artists directly. You benefit from:
Authentic, original work created by local and regional artists
Transparent pricing and direct artist relationships
A curated yet diverse selection of photographic styles and subjects
The knowledge that your purchase strengthens the creative community around you
Where Art and Community Meet
The Covert Collection Artist Co-Op is more than a gallery—it’s a living, breathing creative space built by the artists who fill it. Whether you’re discovering a new piece for your home, seeking inspiration, or exploring membership, we welcome you into a community rooted in passion, craft, and connection.
Step inside. The story begins here.
