One Wall: for emerging Waitaha artists

CoCA Toi Moroki 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 more than 140 years ago.

CoCA programmes its exhibitions via an artist-led and open call model,  and is committed to cultivating a programme of free contemporary exhibitions and events that deepen community connections. 

This Open Call is for Waitaha emerging artists. The One Wall programme will support a cohort of seven emerging artists with diverse practices to share one piece of work with our Ōtautahi community on a five weekly rotation across 2027 on our prominent annex wall. 

The programme provides positive exposure and enables artists to connect with the Waitaha community and one another as a cohort.

To assist artists with proposals for the 2027/2028 Open Call, we are holding a proposal writing workshop on Zoom. 5.30 – 7.30pm Tuesday 15 September. ID: 987 2175 5012 and passcode: 783771
