Founded in 1973, the 45th Street Artists' Cooperative (Emeryville Artists' Cooperative) is the City of Emeryville's first established arts organization. Visual artists, musicians, choreographers, writers, designers and fine craftsmen, many of national and international stature, constitute their membership. Over the past three decades, the Cooperative has grown from a dozen studios in one converted warehouse building to nearly 60 studios in three buildings. Today, as a non-profit, limited-equity housing cooperative, it is a national model for affordable artist-owned housing.
