The Great River Artisans was formed in 2008.  We are a group of artists and artisans who live and work along the Mississippi River in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri.  Individually, our work encompasses the decorative arts, wearable arts, and fine art.  Collectively, we exchange information and ideas, we share in opportunities for bulk purchasing of supplies, and we hold an annual show and sale.

This collaborative effort is a work in progress.  If you are interested in knowing more about the Great River Artisans Cooperative or would like to become a member please contact gemcityjewels@comcast.net
