Coogan had his first solo art show in New York, at the Knowlton Gallery, where he hoped the audience would be somewhat confused with the shapes and angles he created with all his work being shown, which was created using bronze, aluminum, and steel. Coogan discusses his inspirations for creating his shapes in sculpturing, which include "Cana Street stores, in grocery stores, anthropological museums and on the beach." The New York Times wrote an article about Coogan's artwork in 1982, discussing his talent in the arts and how he has a future in it, but he obviously leaned toward education instead, but still stayed in touch with the arts by teaching courses on it.

At the Rhode Island School of Design, Coogan did a few different positions at this school including: professor of sculpture, dean of fine arts, and provost. He also received praise from the president of RISD who stated "Among my former peers, Jay is perhaps the most important contributor to modern art and design school administrative practice and to clarity about the mission of these institutions in the 21st century."

Coogan's main focus coming into the MCAD as the new president was to "strengthen the College's regional connections, building new partnerships, and elevating MCAD's reputation as a leader in discovering and developing creative talent".

Aside from running a college, Coogan enjoys the art of sculpting and has even created his own personal work.
