MOCA welcomes artists, visitors, students, and collaborators with diverse backgrounds, as they truly represent the complexity of modern life. The richest experiences are generated when diverse groups collaborate and share their unique views.

MOCA Tucson is an important anchor institution in Tucson’s downtown revitalization and plays a crucial role in its economic advancement and the cultural relevance of Pima County.

MOCA challenges the status quo by curating exhibitions that showcase the unique lenses through which contemporary artists see the world we live in.

MOCA’s mission is to inspire new ways of thinking through the cultivation, exhibition, and interpretation of contemporary art.

Established by artists, MOCA is Tucson’s only museum devoted exclusively to contemporary art from Tucson and around the globe. MOCA is committed to thinking globally, acting locally, and engaging with the ethics and aesthetics of contemporary life.
