Hallamshire Crafts Co-operative Ltd is a company limited by guarantee, defined as a co-operative in its articles. There are currently 4 members, all of whom participate in the running of London Road Gallery. This participation consists of staffing the gallery (unpaid) one day per week and taking on a management task, such as meetings secretary, housekeeping, web master etc. Each member has guaranteed space to exhibit their work. The gallery also sells work from other local artists and crafts-people. The members have input into the running of the gallery via the regular meetings. We are keen to promote 'local' artists and to keep the quality of work high. To this end the co-op as a whole votes on the selection of 'invited artists' work and will also vote on any application for membership of the co-op. If you are interested in becoming a member or if you are a local artist or crafts-person interested in selling your work through the gallery please contact us or come in to the gallery to find out more.
