Sell Your Work.
Join Our Community.
ArtWorks DeLand is a working artist co-op with a proven track record of selling original art — and a community built to last.
Why ArtWorks DeLand
Everything a serious artist actually needs
We’re not just a place to hang your work. We’re an active, artist-run community that promotes, sells, and supports your practice every day we’re open.
Real Sales, Real Collectors
As of April 2026 our members have collectively sold over $181,000 in art — including $56,000 in original artwork in 2025 alone, a figure that has grown every year we’ve been open. We work at selling, not just displaying.
Active Social Media Promotion
Your work is featured consistently on our Instagram and Facebook — a growing audience that Facebook has invited to monetize. Behind-the-scenes videos, artist interviews, and show coverage, all handled for you.
Monthly Featured Artist Shows
Every First Friday we host a featured artist show with advertising, custom posters, press outreach, an artist talk, and refreshments. Real events that bring real people through the door.
Wholesale Art Supply Access
As a member you have access to our group purchasing program, planned approximately every quarter. We consolidate orders and pass along our wholesale pricing at just 10% over our cost — well below what you’d pay at retail. No minimums per member, no hassle. Submit your list, pick up at the gallery, and pay on collection. It’s one more way membership pays for itself.
Skill Sharing & Mentorship
Work alongside artists across disciplines. Learn new techniques, get honest feedback, and access informal mentorship from people who have built sustainable practices. We also offer workshops and classes.
Community & Belonging
Half our founding members are still with us — because this place feels like a second home. The friendships, the camaraderie, and the shared sense of purpose are things no solo studio can offer.

Built by artists. Trusted by artists.
Half of our members have been with us since day one. Here’s what keeps them here.
“Artworks DeLand is a coop gallery of talented local artists who are supportive of each other way beyond the arts, managers who volunteer their time and management skills to run the business including marketing and maintenance, plus is in a great location in an award winning town. I’m thrilled to be part of this wonderful gallery.”
— Adele Gerbracht, Artist Member since 2024
“Showing your artwork completes the process from idea to finished piece. It stretches you out of your comfort zone and inspires creativity in new and different ways. The biggest gift of being a member of AWD is the community of artists working together, encouraging one another and learning from artists working in different media than I work in. Art is typically a solo endeavor, however the value of meeting other creatives working together is beyond anything I imagined. “
