VoCA (Voices in Contemporary Art) is a non-profit organization that generates critical dialogue and collaborative programming around the stewardship of contemporary art. Though based in New York City, VoCA is a mobile organization, partnering with institutions across the country and the globe to develop knowledge via its major program streams: VoCA Talks, VoCA Journal, and VoCA Workshops.Increasingly since the twentieth century, artists have experimented with an unprecedented range of new materials and technologies – often with untested longevity and built-in obsolescence leading to physical instability. The conceptual concerns that underpin much of contemporary art make its preservation more than an effort to arrest physical change. The artist's voice is crucial in developing preservation strategies and their participation is essential for future conservation and presentation of their work. VoCA's network thus comprises artists, conservators, curators, collectors, educators, and students who recognize the need for public forums on new forms of collaboration and documentation.
