As atividades do CHOCAArts são coordenadas por entusiastas da arte. Alguns frequentaram escolas de arte e são qualificados, outros são autodidatas através de livros, cursos online e "tentativa e erro". As/os participantes são encorajadas/os a partilhar conhecimento e experiência com uma atitude de que não há certo ou errado, mas o que simplesmente funciona para cada um de nós         CHOCAArts activities are coordinated by art enthusiasts. Some have been to art school and are qualified, some are self taught via books , online courses and 'trial and error'. Participants are encouraged to pool knowledge and experience with an attitude there is no right or wrong but what simply works for each of us
