Joseph Coco

Joseph Coco is a rare artist who has combined his visual talents with stellar accomplishments in music. He earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Rutgers University in 1986 and has created more than 100 solo exhibitions, including four international shows of his series IF WALLS COULD SPEAK IF WALLS COULD SPEAK, created in Portugal & Sicily, 1992-97. Starting in 1972, his series THE LAST FULL MOON continued through 2025.
Coco is a versatile performer with infectious energy. An American songwriter, singer and guitarist, he has performed internationally from Los Angeles to Switzerland and beyond, and has written more than 850 songs, many of which reflect a strong social conscience. Coco has released 58 albums since 1979, six of which have entered Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Library of Protest & Special Collections. Coco also served as the Assistant Project and Press Director for the world’s first International Symposium of Art and Invisible Beauty in 1989.
Coco has taught music appreciation, art appreciation, and studio courses at Centenary University since 2004. While teaching at Montclair State University, his class syllabus for Rock n Rap: Cultural Phenomenon was the first course material the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Educational Center compiled on the subject.
