“The purpose of the meeting, and probably further meetings, will be to determine how we are going to set up the cooperative,” said Jackie Viestenz, co-op organizer. “I haven’t done this before and will be getting more information from a group in Vergennes.” For information about the meeting or the proposed cooperative call Viestenz at 546-9855.

gallery. “Each person who has their work there will have to man the gallery,” Viestenz said. “How often they do this will depend on how many people we have and how many hours the gallery is open. If we rent the proposed building and we have six people participate, then each one would pay about $60 a month. If there are more people, then it would be less. The space could hold up to eight artists/craftspersons.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 19
