Interested in becoming a member?

We are so pleased that you are interested in learning more about Made In Warren—or, that you’re thinking of convincing a talented friend or family member to apply to our Artist Cooperative! Either way, here is some quick info about next steps in the process.

PLEASE NOTE: All applications for pottery and jewelry will be placed on a waitlist until there are openings. All other artists are welcome to apply, but due to space constraints, they may be placed on a waitlist. Please check back often as this may change. 

We will not be jurying applicants in November and December. Feel free to submit an application, and we will get back to you--but the jurying process will be delayed until January 2023.
