To assist artists with proposals for the 2026/2027 Open Call, CoCA is holding a proposal writing workshop.

CoCA Toi Moroki Centre of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce our annual Open Call for Proposals.

This Open Call is for an exhibition programme beginning March 2026 for our downstairs Ō Papa Gallery, Ōtautahi Christchurch.

We invite proposals from individual artists, groups and art collectives from all disciplines including visual art, crafts and Ngā Toi for our 2026/2027 exhibition programme. Whether you’re working solo, in collaboration, or as part of a community-led initiative.

While we prioritise support for artists who are from or have a connection to Waitaha Canterbury, we are open to proposals from outside our area.

We also welcome proposals from community organisations who support artists facing barriers to exhibiting.

To assist artists with their proposals for the 2026/2027 Open Call, we are holding a proposal writing workshop. Jade Cavalcante, Exhibitions Delivery Manager and Sarah Aspinwall, Operations Manager will go through the proposal documents and submissions process.
