Drop-in for one-on-one conversations with members of Art.coop, who can answer your questions around incorporating cooperative models into your practice, give an introduction to the solidarity economy, and share resources. Office Hours are every Tuesday from 11 am – 3 pm, during CTHQ’s Open Hours. Please email team@art.coop with the date and time you want to visit.

Themed Office Hours for the month of June will focus on Structures of Solidarity.

Drop in to talk with Anh–Thu Nguyễn of Democracy at Work Institute about Worker Ownership, and how they’ve built sustainable frameworks as artists in the Solidarity Economy Movement. From 1:00 – 2:00 pm we invite you to a group peer share – bring your challenges and questions to discuss and if you are currently in a collective or cooperative, we encourage you to come with your people. Feel free to email team@art.coop with questions in advance.
