Publications

One of the guiding principles of the Fellows of Contemporary Art is to provide funding for exhibition catalogs.  FOCA considers it essential to document the history of emerging and mid-career California artists.  Often, the  catalog will be the first published monograph on an artist and an important stepping stone in their career.

Catalogs are sold in museums and bookstores nationwide and a few are out of print.
