The Council on Culture & Arts (COCA) operates as a nonprofit serving the Tallahassee capital region as the designated local arts agency and umbrella for arts and culture. Although not a government entity, COCA collaborates with city and county governments, the state, and the local school district as a cultural industry partner. The board is appointed by city and county commissions from nominees supplied by COCA, and includes two practicing artists alongside members with expertise in tourism, finance, business, economic development, marketing, and volunteering. Founded in 1985, COCA supports those who produce, invest in, and experience the arts in the region by coordinating services that benefit the community at large. Its staff provide professional arts expertise across various roles to meet the needs of the local cultural sector. The organization is based in Tallahassee, Florida, and maintains a website at tallahasseearts.org.
