Fellows of Contemporary Art is an independent, non-profit art organization that collaborates with the art community at large and nurtures the expression of creative freedom in support of contemporary California art and artists.<\/p>\n
The latest chapter in our ongoing support for California art and artists is the Curators Laboratory, an ongoing series of exhibitions at FOCA\u2019s exhibition space.\u00a0 Since our initial Curators Lab exhibition, \u201cStoneface\u201d in 2007, more than ninety emerging or established artists have been featured in twenty-three exhibitions.\u00a0 Each project involves public events and some form of documentation.<\/p>\n
