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.
“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
