Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland

Cleveland’s Museum of Contemporary Art (moCa) plays an urgent and exciting role in the city’s cultural landscape. As a non-collecting institution and the region’s only contemporary art museum, moCa is ever-changing, introducing new exhibitions three times a year to create fresh experiences for visitors each season. Since its founding in 1968, moCa has presented the works of more than 2,000 artists, often through artists’ first solo shows.

For more than 50 years, moCa has been both conduit and catalyst for anyone seeking creativity and inspiration, bringing the art and ideas of our time to Cleveland and the region at large. moCa was the first in the area to exhibit the works of vanguard artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. We continue in that tradition, featuring the work of emerging and established regional, national, and international artists.

Past exhibits have featured art by Andy Warhol, Christo, and Claes Oldenburg, Jim Hodges and Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson, among others. The museum places a special focus on artists from Greater Cleveland and the rest of Northeastern Ohio in regional group shows curated every two years.

MOCA's more recent, critically acclaimed exhibitions have included Inside Out and From the Ground Up (Fall 2012), Corin Hewitt: Hedge (Winter 2013), Michelle Grabner: I Work from Home (Fall 2013), Dirge: Reflections on (Life and) Death (Winter/Spring 2014), Kirk Mangus: Things Love (Fall 2014), Stranger (Winter 2016), Xavier Cha: abduct (Winter 2016).
