"𝗪𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴"
From December 4, 2025– February 21, 2026, CoCA will present the latest incarnation of its storied series exploring contemporary art, the CoCA Annual, a juried group exhibition seeking work from emerging as well as established artists in the Northwest and worldwide. For the 25th edition, CoCA is proud to announce Joseph DeLappe as juror.
𝗪𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴 is a call for artworks across all media that respond to our current moment of intersecting crises. We are seeking works that confront, question, and resist the politics of authoritarianism, nationalism, and hate, while also proposing creative strategies for care, solidarity, survival, and beauty. We welcome submissions in any form—visual art, performance, games, writing, film, sound, installation, digital media, and hybrid practices. This exhibition is rooted in the belief that creativity is both a tool of resistance and a catalyst for change. Let’s come together to insist that another world is possible—and that we don’t need this fascist groove thang!
