COCA Spotlight

Elton Burgest

Multi-Media Artist & Guest Juror for 2023 Creative Tallahassee

COCA-Spotlight-Images-FY22-57-1050x700 image

Multi-media artist Elton Burgest lent his artistic eye as a juror for this year’s Creative Tallahassee exhibition, which runs through June 5 at City Hall Art Gallery. Since April, this year’s Creative Tallahassee exhibition has filled the walls of the City Hall Art Gallery. As part of the Art in Public Places program, sponsored by the City of Tallahassee and presented by the Council on Culture & Arts, this curated exhibit features a vast array of 2-D and 3-D media by artists in the community. Highly educated visual artists from the Capital City region carefully reviewed and judged each submission.


The guest juror is selected because of their active and persistent dedication to local arts and unique knowledge of various artistic mediums. Still, art can be subjective, and judging it can be intimidating for everyone involved. Luckily for the artists who submitted, this year’s Creative Tallahassee juror Elton Burgest recognized and respected that creating art is a highly personal journey artists take when creating art.

Repurposed: Paintings by Tracy Foutz-Hunt

COCA at City Hall Galleries

On June 8, local painter Tracy Foutz-Hunt's solo show "Repurposed" opens at COCA's City Hall Galleries. You can also register to attend the Reception & Artist Talk on July 6. This collection consists of old papers repurposed as a tribute to the draftsmen who drew the originals. Many of the objects they reproduced are obsolete now, as the drafting tables once employed are now replaced by laptops. The paints Tracy applies over these papers are mostly translucent, allowing for delicate lines and figures to peep through.
