Center of Contemporary Arts

The center was founded in 1986. Housed in a 60,000 square foot building designed by world- renowned architect Eric Mendelssohn, COCA attracts 50,000 area residents each year thirsting for avenues of creative expression.

It offers classes in the arts for children and adults. In addition to various displays, multicultural programs and scholarship programs, the center helps many disadvantaged children through its Youth at Risk program. COCA has received many awards for its contributions to St. Louis. It is a great cultural asset for locals as well as for visitors to the city.

COCA (Center of Creative Arts) has been providing meaningful arts experiences to St. Louisans and their family for nearly two decades. COCA has become the largest multidisciplinary arts institution and one of the most valuable community assets in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

Its multidisciplinary and multicultural arts programs include performances in our 400- seat theatre; educational classes, camps, and workshops serving individuals aged 6 months through adult; artists' residencies; exhibits of contemporary art in the Millstone Gallery.

Hours : 8a- 9p M- F; 9a- 6p Sa; 10a- 5p Su.
