The Fairhope Committee on Public Art (COPA) is a committee of the Eastern Shore Art Association, Fairhope, Alabama. Its purpose is to develop and implement a long-range plan to aquire works of art of the highest quality and to make visible Fairhope's long-standing interest in and support of the arts.
The 2007 "ART TAKES FLIGHT", a temporary art installation in Fairhope featuring 72 artistically - decorated pelicans, each sponsored by businesses or individuals, was COPA's most "wildly successful" fundraiser to date.
JUMPIN JUBILEE
Jumpin Jubilee was COPA's 2011 temporary art project. Crabs, shrimp and flounder were decorated, reconfigured and embellished by artists for display in Fairhope before being sold at "Catch of the Day Auction". All bay creatures were taken home by happy purchasers and the auction was a true jubilee....
