Support the Collective
Artists keep 70% of every sale — which means we run on community. Here's how to help keep the lights on.
Donate
Your donation pays rent, utilities, and art supplies — and keeps the doors open for someone who needs this space.
We cannot issue tax receipts for donations. We would rather say so up front than have you find out at tax time.

Donate supplies — our wishlist
Things we always need: canvases, paints, brushes, paper, frames, beads, umbrellas, warm clothing. Gently used is fine — drop them at the studio, or ask what we are short of.

The people keeping this place open
A storefront on Tranquille Road does not stay open by itself. These are the businesses, funders, and neighbours who make it possible.
Every name here went up because that person asked to be named — never by default. Some of the people who keep this studio going have good reasons not to be listed publicly, and that is entirely their call.
Three ways to stand behind this place
Business allies
North Shore businesses sponsor shows, display our artists' work, and keep a donation jar by the till.

Monthly donors
Steady gifts are what let us plan past next month. Set one up here — and if you'd like your name on the wall above, just say so.
