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, jewelry, and 2-D artwork requiring wall space for display will be placed on a waitlist until there are openings. All other artists are welcome to apply, but due to space constraints may be placed on a waitlist. We are particularly interested in any wood, metal or mobile artists who are interested in joining. Please check back often as this may change.
