Fellows of Contemporary Art

Fellows of Contemporary Art (FOCA) is a non-profit, independent, and membership-based organization that supports contemporary art in California.

Founded in 1975, FOCA is a direct outgrowth of a support group that was previously associated with the Pasadena Art Museum. Today, our 150-plus memberships come from all parts of California and other states. The membership dues support FOCA’s missions.

FOCA’s MISSION is to support emerging and mid-career California artists through awards, exhibitions, including accompanying catalogues, and diverse educational events for its members.
