WHAT IS COCA?
History The group was started when Patt Sheldon realized most artists work in isolation with few people seeing and admiring their art unless they participate in shows. Even selling in a shop or gallery means they don’t see people’s reactions to their art. She started CoCA with the idea of networking, sharing and socializing, and group shows became one of the benefits. Open Studios Colony of Coastside Artists (CoCA) celebrated our 10th Open Studios in Nov. 2019. Our diverse group is continuing to meet online sharing all types of art through Shelter-in-Place. We truly want to continue with our 12th Open Studios—every artists’ show has been canceled and many rely on sales for survival. Plus, we love talking to our visitors about what we create. We have been fortunate to have a great audience and patronage. Please check back for more information, as it develops. Join our mailing list and check back to learn about new group shows we are adding during the year. Thank you for your patronage and interest. Sign up for our Mailing List. For information about COCA and the artists: CoCAartists@gmail.com Our neighbors are often surprised and delighted as we “come out” as artists living nearby. From CoCA Members: “I’ve felt the spirit of CoCA has been inclusive, supportive, sharing and gracious to all artists. ” “If CoCA were food, it would be the best macaroni and cheese you ever ate.” “CoCA is a group of talented, committed, and friendly artists who get together to share their creative experiences.” “Moving to the coast has been a wonderful experience, but joining CoCA has made it feel like I’ve come home.” “CoCA is a group of talented and passionate coastside artists who welcome and mentor fellow artists at all stages of their artistic path.” |
