About

The Centre of Contemporary Art Toi Moroki (CoCA) is a leading art gallery in Ōtautahi Christchurch, governed by the Canterbury Society of Arts Charitable Trust. The gallery has a rich history of supporting the development of arts practitioners and serving the community since it was established over 140 years ago. To this day, CoCA is committed to cultivating a programme of contemporary art exhibitions and events that deepen community connections.

Our new strategic framework has better-connected arts practitioners and better-connected communities at its heart. A newly-established programming panel brings together artist practitioners from a range of disciplines, keeping the CSA legacy alive.
