2008 CoCA Annual Download Art Loan Agreement 2006 CoCA Annual 2005 CoCA Annual 2004 CoCA Annual Call for Artists From December 8 - January 30, CoCA will present the 2008 CoCA Annual, a juried exhibition, asking artist to respond to "hybrid": The elements of the world we live in are increasingly becoming synthesized, mixed and reorganized. New ideas are being combined with existing ones. From cars to food, politics and religion, biochemistry, new technologies and art, we are all experiencing the "hybrid". CoCA has presented the Annual since 1989, each time bringing in an independent juror to select the work from among the entries received. This year's juror is Riko Nakasone. Riko Nakasone has been the director and curator of the Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia for over 8 years. The Bau-Xi Gallery represents a broad range of emerging and senior artists creating both representational and abstract work in diverse media. There will be a reception for the artists, the work, and the juror on Thursday December 11, from 6-9pm, at CoCA's Ballard Gallery inside the Shilshole Bay Beach Club at 6413 Seaview Ave NW Seattle, WA 98107.
