COCA offers several unique marketing assistance opportunities that benefit our local arts community.
TallahasseeArts.org is free and easy to use, and we welcome your arts and cultural events, classes, workshops and camps taking place in our 100-mile service area. Once your event is approved, you can edit it so please add your events as soon as you know about them. Our arts events are shared with Visit Tallahassee, appear on the Choose Tallahassee website, and are viewed by regional publications and visitors who are planning their visits, in addition to reaching thousands of local community members.

Sent to a growing list of over 14,000 recipients each Monday, this newsletter gives a weekly snapshot of the hundreds of arts and cultural happenings in Florida’s Capital Region. All events will be taken from the TallahasseeArts.org calendar, and must be listed by Friday the week before publication. Click here to learn more about COCA’s advertising opportunities.
COCA’s “Behind the Scenes” albums showcase photos of events in the preparation stages: rehearsals, set building, artworks in process, etc. We want to show the community all the wonderful work that goes into your artworks, productions, and performances.
Before you get started – make sure you have an overall description of your event, five photos with a description of what is pictured, and have your event posted on www.tallahasseearts.org.
COCA will try to accommodate all requests, but we cannot guarantee a “Behind the Scenes” feature.
