CoCA's 24-Hour Art Marathon & Auction!
THE MARATHON
CoCA’s 24th Annual 24-Hour Art Marathon & Auction is a three-day celebration of contemporary art. Join the ongoing cacophony at the Artist Preview Party on Thursday, November 10th, from 6-9pm during Capitol Hill Art Walk at the Summit Building 420 E. Pike Street. Meet the artists and get a peek at works in progress. Admission by donation. Plus Daniel Carrillo will be back creating tin-type portraits for you on site!
The entire event launches at 10am on Thursday, November 10th with 24 hours of controlled chaos as 20+ emerging and established artists paint, draw, wax, construct, collage, spray, write and sculpt their way to creating nearly 100 new works of art to be auctioned off at the New Wave Ball & Auction on Saturday, November 12th. Everyone is welcome to come watch the artists in action during the Marathon.

CoCA's New Wave Ball & Art Auction is a throw back to CoCA's first exhibit in 1981 of James Turrell so pull out your leather with big safety pins, studded wristbands and hairspray (or egg whites for you purists) and join us for a wicked party that supports one of Seattle's most iconic nonprofit arts organizations. To further our mission to support contemporary art, CoCA offers 50% of all auction sales back to the participating artists so the higher you bid, the more you directly help artists thrive! We hope to see you there!
