COCA's Gala Going Virtual

COCA's Gala Going Virtual

Save the date because the show must go on! Coming up on April 24 at 7pm, COCAcabana 2020 Presents: COCAchella will be live online. COCA wants to be able to provide a safe and easy way for the creative community to connect during such a challenging time, redefining what a virtual event can be. Modeled after Coachella, the iconic annual music and arts festival in California, COCA is bringing the celebration to you.

Access to this party is free. Here is a taste of what has been planned:

  • Student performances showcasing the AMAZING talent at COCA

  • An auction including celebrity items 

  • A lineup of local bands and DJs

  • Additional details will be announced soon. RSVP today to secure your spot!

COCAcabana is COCA’s only annual fundraiser, raising more than 25% of COCA’s annual contributed income which enables COCA to provide access to vital arts education to thousands of students across the St. Louis region through scholarships and free- and reduced-cost programs for schools and community partners.

Access to high-quality arts education is essential. COCA says it was necessary to reimagine this important fundraising event, and still pull together to help every student achieve their full potential regardless of their future career path.
