We are once again excited to open our homes and studios to returning and new art patrons.
The 17th Annual Colony of Coastside Artists (CoCA) Open Studios tour returns this fall to the San Mateo Coast, showcasing over 55 local artists who reflect the vibrant creative spirit of the Bay Area.Â
CoCA represents over 100 local artists of all mediums celebrating their creative spirits. We meet monthly to share our art, experiences, and knowledge while socializing with like-minded people who mostly work in isolation.
​From the beginning of CoCA in 2010, our group desired to share their work with the public. Open Studios has grown from 21 artists in 6 locations to 55 artists in 32 locations. With so many vibrant studios to visit and artists to meet, we encourage visitors to plan for a whole weekend of art.
Thank you for your continued interest in our coastside artists.
—Patt Sheldon, Founding Artist
