Women on the Rise /

Women on the Rise! is a unique gender-specific outreach program that presents the work of contemporary women artists such as Ana Mendieta and Carrie Mae Weems to teenage girls ages 12-18 who are served by organizations such as The Miami Dade Regional Juvenile Detention Center and The Village drug rehabilitation center, among others. MOCA educators visit these institutions and use contemporary art to inspire girls to engage in critical dialogues about body image, relationships, and culture and to creatively imagine brilliant futures through hands-on art projects, visits to exhibitions, and meetings with noted women artists.

Artwork and writing created by participants are featured in an annual exhibition and in the MOCA'ZINE, the museum's teen arts journal.
