WhAT IS COCO N CO?
COCO N CO is a community first, platform second, opportunity third. A community of creatives, artist, and professionals that want big things for and from the world. We host events, exhibitions and workshops, as well as open calls for these events. The website also provides an online platform for community members to display and sell their work, and be professionally represented by someone who gets it.
We believe in bold ideas, authentic and mutually beneficial relationships, and lasting impact. What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been, what we’ve learnt and even more excited for what’s ahead.
The name was established when I started exploring my creative identity at university. The name started as a childhood insult meaning “brown on the outside, white on the inside” – referencing my dual heritage. The aim was to turn the insult into a creative enterprise.
