THE LITTLE BEEHIVE CO-OP

was founded in 2014 by two Nelson creatives, Paula Ossevoort and Rachael Brown. Both were looking to connect and collaborate with other artists and to find a place to show their work. The idea was generated, and the perfect building found. They gathered the local talent, and within weeks the doors were open to the public. “We just wanted to make it easy for artists and worth their while,” says Paula. “So we structure it so that it's affordable. I think people appreciate that and it drips down into the community. We get so many supportive comments.” 123 Bridge Street, littlebeehive.shop
