As our community comes to terms with the loss of 50 innocent lives, CoCA will open our gallery walls for people to write and process their thoughts. The words “Love Lives Here” imprinted on the main gallery wall sets the tone as people are invited to gather, reflect, and add their own words to the walls in response to the terror attack of March 15th.

If you wish to share your own words in person, please join us on Friday March 29th at 5:30pm as we open the space to the city.

CoCA will also be opening our Autumn Season of Ground Floor exhibitions:

Parallel Universe by Roy Good in Ground Floor Gallery

Coffee and Permaset by Lee Richardson in Lux Gallery

This initiative has received unconditional support from Canterbury Museum, Resene, Signtech, White Tie Catering, Carters, McHargs Bookbinders, Hyde Park Hire, Mrs Bottomley's Flowers, and artists Wayne Youle, Matthew Galloway, Julia Holden, Rob Upritchard, and Julia Morison ONZM. The paint pens have been generously donated by Ironlak, an Australian paint and art supplies company. We are grateful for the aroha.
