The Jordan Wayne Co-Op Gallery

In 2023 we renamed the Co-Op Gallery in honor of our friend Jordan Wayne, who passed away in March. Jordan was born and raised right here in Oskaloosa. Much of his wonderful graphic design work centers around his home state and his hometown. Jordan made a tremendous impact in his community and on everyone who knew him. He will always be an important member of our little co-op gang and his work will continue to hang in the newly named Jordan Wayne Co-Op Gallery for viewing and purchase.
