MOCA Mission Statement
The mission of the Museum of Contemporary Art is to make contemporary art accessible to diverse audiences—especially under-served populations—by exploring the art of our time and its relationship to a broader cultural context. The museum is particularly interested in providing a forum for young and emerging artists and in presenting and collecting works by local as well as internationally recognized artists. The museum carries out this mission through exhibitions and acquiring works for its permanent collection as well as related symposia, publications, films, lectures, performances, and educational outreach activities, thereby providing a forum for dialogue about contemporary art in the community.
