Located in a converted firehouse in the heart of downtown, MOCA Tucson has become one of the leading contemporary art centers in the Southwest. Established by artists in 1997, MOCA is Tucson’s only museum devoted exclusively to contemporary art from around the globe, hosting rotating exhibitions by locally, nationally, and internationally renowned contemporary artists.
“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
