    Do you mean the kind where you share space? or the kind where you run
    a gallery together? 

    Where are you located? 

    There are many shared space places -- Metalwerx in Boston,
    Lillstreet in Chicago off the top of my head. I'm sure there are
    more. 

    Not true cooperatives, I don't know of any of those. 

    The kind where you run a gallery together -- around here these don't
    seem to last long. They open with great enthusiasm and die a slow
    death by committee. They generally are made up of artists from a
    variety of media. 

Hope that helps.
