The Coffee County Creative Collective was founded to provide much-needed exposure for local creators.
The terms co-op (cooperative) and collective are often used interchangeably in casual conversation, but they have distinct structures and goals, especially in the context of creative, agricultural, or business communities.
Some things they have in common: In both, members buy in or contribute capital, decisions are made democratically (often 1 member = 1 vote), profits are shared among members or reinvested and it can be consumer, producer, or worker-owned.
However, a co-op is run as a legally recognized business. It is run almost like a non-profit in having (and being run by) a board, articles of incorporation, and such. It generally features include a more formal structure (typically registered as a business entity).
On the other hand, a collective is generally described as a group of people working together toward a common goal. It may or may not be legally incorporated. And it generally runs less formally, has more flexible structuring, and offers non-hierarchical leadership (consensus based) decision-making.
