Centre of Contemporary Art (COCA)

Fodor's Review:

This gallery actually has six galleries showing 60 exhibitions a year, with a long history of showing contemporary works by Canterbury artists -- in fact, it was founded as the Canterbury Society of Arts back in 1880. Now their shows mix established names with up-and-comers and Kiwi artists. One gallery, Artzone, exhibits work by children and runs art classes.
