About the North Miami Museum of Contemporary Art:
MOCA North Miami showcases contemporary art and its historical impact through exhibitions, educational programs and collections. MOCA connects diverse audiences and cultures by drawing inspiration from the communities around them, providing a welcoming forum for new ideas and voices, and fostering a lifelong love of the arts. MOCA evolved from the Center for Contemporary Art, which was launched in 1981. The establishment of the permanent collection coincided with the institution’s move to its current building, designed by GSNY’s Charles Gwasmey, in 1996.
