CoCA Toi Moroki Centre of Contemporary Art
Emerging Ōtautahi artists are invited to propose a single work for CoCA's prominent annex wall, with a five-week rotation from March 2027.
CoCA Toi Moroki Centre of Contemporary Art invites emerging Waitaha (Canterbury) artists to submit proposals for the One Wall Programme 2027/2028 — a rotating exhibition series on CoCA's prominent annex wall in the Ō Papa gallery, Ōtautahi Christchurch.
The concept is beautifully simple: one artist, one wall, one work. A cohort of local artists each show a single piece for a five-week rotation, beginning March 2027. It's a meaningful opportunity to gain public exposure, connect with audiences, and build community with fellow artists in the cohort.

CoCA's programming is artist-led — a voluntary group of Waitaha-based artists from diverse disciplines selects the One Wall cohort through an open call process, with equity of representation a core priority.
