In the Community

At MOCA, we believe art has the power to connect people, enrich lives, and extend beyond our museum walls. By engaging with schools, senior centers, and community organizations, we aim to weave art into the fabric of our community, sparking curiosity, lively conversations, and strengthening our shared connections.

MOCA at the Library

This popular program serves hundreds of students each year with free art classes on Thursdays from 3-4pm at both North Miami Public Library and Brockway Memorial Library. Guided by a professional artist, teens learn about contemporary art through engaging classes and hands-on art-making experiences.

Students at W.J. Bryan can receive 40+ hours of training in transferable skills including public speaking, communication, critical thinking, leadership, self-esteem, and career readiness, using MOCA's exhibitions as subject matter. The training culminates in a W.J. Bryan Family Day at the museum with student-led discussions and tours of the exhibitions for parents, friends and teachers.
