CoCA’s long term vision is to provide a thriving home for art and culture in Waitaha, igniting connections between artists and community. We are grateful for the contribution our supporters make to help CoCA to realise this vision. Together, we nurture artists, share contemporary art with our community, and enliven our city.

Art has the power to connect people - for a moment, a day or a lifetime. It offers a chance to escape the everyday, to reflect, explore, experience.

Donate

CoCA is open to everyone to enjoy contemporary art. Your donation supports a free programme of community events, and exhibitions from emerging and established Aotearoa artists.

CoCA is Ōtautahi Christchurch’s oldest arts institution, and is an independent charitable trust (CC28311) managed by The Canterbury Society of Arts Charitable Trust (CSA). Support is critical to the vitality and sustainability of our organisation.
