While the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) remains temporarily closed, the museum continues its commitment to the community by remaining “open” virtually to the public with new online content and initiatives. MOCA’s mission of making contemporary art accessible to diverse audiences is as active as ever through virtual tours of its exhibitions, access to youth education, deep dives into our permanent collection and more.

Virtual visitors can explore two of MOCA’s exhibitions showcasing women artists ― artist Cecilia Vicuña’s “Cecilia Vicuña: About to Happen” and French-Mexican Surrealist Alice Rahon’s “Poetic Invocations”. From the comfort of their homes, guests can enjoy 360-degree photographic scans of both exhibitions, information and meta tagging of the exhibitions, including the original object labels from the museum and automated tours designed to provide the viewer with a guided walk through of the virtual exhibition space.

For the youth, MOCA will continue is educational programming with initiatives such as its “Fun Fridays” series –  a series of free at-home art projects that will pull inspiration from contemporary artists, techniques, and accessible art making. The educational programming will be activated through MOCA’s social media pages and step-by-step instructions on MOCA’s website. 

MOCA North Miami will also feature weekly “close looks” at past exhibitions and its permanent collection through images, original text and video on MOCA’s social media channels.
