The 16th Annual Art Marathon

Sorry for the hiatus but things have been busy at CoCA. Most notable was the recent 16th Annual Marathon which was hosted at the Engine Room of the old rainier Brewery in Georgetown. The event rocked, the artists were great, the art was amazing and Georgetown as usual was the place to be.

If you missed it, here is the link to our Flickr site where you can find photos of the event. Paul Swortz of HonuPhoto pitched in and helped photograph the event, here's a link to the photos on his Flickr site.

Call for artists: The 2008 CoCA Painting Marathon

The 2008 CoCA Painting Marathon Selection Committee is requesting artists to participate in the 16th Annual CoCA Painting Marathon. The Painting Marathon is a 2 day event where artist create art for 24hrs straight (that's the marathon part), the marathon is followed by a series of silent and live auctions to benefit Seattle’s Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA) on the 2nd day. We wrap the event up with a rocking after party. Last year's event was a smashing success and then years will be even better.

Art sales are split 50/50.

FYI, here are a few links to last year’s event.
