::: The CO-OP Galleries :::

Costa Mesa's newest student and emerging artist movement focused upon the arts through site-specific collaborative opportunities fusing fine art, music, architecture, environmental responsibility and active lifestyles together in one communal means of expression/exploration. The CO-OP Galleries are dedicated to searching outside the confines of established art institutions and presenting work that has the potential to engage a wide range of audiences. New opportunities to create and exhibit large-scale sculpture, multi-media installations, paintings, drawings and photography in an encouraging environment that invites interaction between artists, artworks and the public have arisen. For more information on how to exhibit with the CO-OP, email info@thelab.com.
