The COFA ANNUAL 09 is not one, but two dynamic events:

1. The COFA ANNUAL 09 exhibition features a stunning array of animation, ceramics, drawing, digital imaging, environments, graphics, installation, interactive media, jewellery, motion graphics, objects, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, sound, textiles and video works by COFA’s more than 350 graduating students.
November 24-29.

2. In the COFA ANNUAL 09 screening, graduating Digital Media and Time Based Art students show video, animation, motion graphics and time based works on the big screen at the Chauvel cinema.
November 17.

Altogether, the COFA ANNUAL 09 marks an exciting moment of transition. It is a celebration of metamorphosis as graduating students leave COFA’s classrooms and prepare to enter the professional arena.
COFA ANNUAL 09 is an amazing opportunity to see Australia’s next generation of creative talent before they make it big.
After the ANNUAL, COFA’s graduates go on to do great things.
Earlier this year, internationally acclaimed artists and COFA grads Shaun Gladwell, Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro represented Australia at the Venice Biennale.
Gladwell was also there in 2007, alongside media artists Rosemary Laing and Susan Norrie. Angelica Mesti, part of the all female performance crew the Kingpins who met at COFA, won the 2009 Blake Prize. The phenomenally successful Dinosaur Designs team started their business while they were still COFA students. And the list goes on and on.
