We like art. We've liked art for a long time. Art Coop, Inc. was founded in 1971 and has operated in the CU area since that time.

Art Coop is currently run by Anna Peters & Hilary Pope making us a 100% female-owned business. We're thrilled to carry on the incredible legacy of The Coop left by founders Knut Bauer and Susan Smith.

We specialize in art, architectural, photographic and craft supplies.

​

In addition to all the customary art supplies we carry a vast selection of unique papers, fountain pens, greeting cards, posters, frames, notebooks, books, toys, black & white film/chemicals, photo paper, paint pens, tote bags, and a large variety of gifts!
