WHAT IS COCA?
Colony of Coastside Artists (CoCA) celebrated our 10th Open Studios this year. Our diverse group continues to meet monthly to discuss and share all types of art in a non-competitive setting.
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 grows annually with returning art patrons and new attendees. We are excited to open our studios and homes to the public to share and sell our work. Join our mailing list and check our website to learn about new group shows we are adding during the year. Open Studios will continue to be the weekend before Thanksgiving. Save the Date: November 21-22, 2020!
Thank you for your patronage and interest.

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.”
