Owned and operated by 42 artists, Boulder Arts & Crafts has successfully combined cooperative procedures with increased sales through the years. Artist involvement distinguishes the store from other galleries. Challenged and rewarded by the original cooperative concept, individuals bring their diverse talents and business skills to the organization, and democratically oversee policies and the operation of the store.
