History of the Superior Artists Gallery
Every Thursday, eight women went to the Washburn Historical Museum and
Cultural Arts Center, to paint pictures. We called ourselves the
Brownstone School of Art. One of the group, Jan Benson,
had been in a cooperative art gallery in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin.
The artists there bought shares of stock, filled out all the paperwork,
and became a Cooperative. This meant that they would do all the
work, and bring in all the merchandise. Together they rented the
space and became an Art Gallery. We adopted this plan of action.
Others artists joined in and we became the Superior Artists' Gallery as
a Cooperative. Now after ten years, we are still together, not as
a building in Washburn, Wisconsin, but we opened a new door to the World
Wide Web. The name is still Superior, from Lake Superior where we
live and work, Artist's Gallery. Find our always open door here on
our web site.
September 2009!
Our gallery in Washburn,
Wisconsin closed on August 30, 2009 after 8 years of
