THE NEW COFA GALLERIES
The new COFA galleries are due for completion in May 2013.
They will be highly specialised exhibition spaces able to present the latest art, design and media technologies in a fully integrated way. The nature of these spaces has evolved in response to the needs of COFA, taking into account: the overall budget for the project; the parameters of existing buildings on site; and the need to maximise the provision of learning & teaching studios and facilities.
Exhibitions planned for the galleries will include those curated by COFA staff and through new and already established partnerships. The Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF) will exhibit projects in the galleries when there is a ‘best fit’ with the capabilities of the new COFA spaces.
New Features
- Orientated towards Oxford Street.
- Purpose built with state of the art IT, lighting, climate control, hanging and storage facilities etc.
- Operate as a public gallery presenting rigorously curated national and international exhibitions.
- Directly benefit teaching and learning at COFA by acting as a laboratory space where experimentation, inquiry and discovery, across the disciplines of art, design and media, are championed.
