    Co-Op Memberships are a small step toward a long term vision where artist members participate in facility maintenance of The Cedars Union while also being an active CU artist. In return for weekly duties, Co-Op Members receive a free community membership.

    Each Co-Op Member is assigned to a zone to clean or upkeep, requiring an estimated one hour per week. Examples include the kitchen, tech labs, bathrooms, wet lab, etc. To be accepted, members must commit to a six-months of the Co-Op Membership.
