~A Living Legacy ~ Celebrating 50 Years~
The Arts and Crafts Cooperative Inc. was established in 1957 and is the oldest Arts and Crafts Cooperative west of the Mississippi. We celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2007. Our patrons have come to look upon ACCI Gallery as a place to find unique, exquisitely handcrafted work of the highest quality. We are located in the heart of the Gourmet Ghetto on Shattuck Ave in Berkeley. Our sales are exceptional and our audience extends beyond the Bay Area. We showcase fine craft and fine art including works of ceramics, glass, jewelry, wood, metal, textiles, along with painting, photography, sculpture and fiber. We are always open to challenging and traditional media and welcome our artists to explore their creative boundaries. We also feature guest artists for our provocative exhibition series and window installations. We welcome separate proposals for this showcase. Thank you for your interest in joining our community, and we look forward to seeing your work!
