In 2021, the museum inaugurated Art on the Plaza, a series of temporary public art installations on MOCA’s Plaza, that invites artists to activate the space. The 2023 series features South Florida artists: Edison Peñafiel, LIZN’BOW (Liz Ferrer and Bow Ty), Sterling Rook and Chris Friday. Starting March 2023, site-specific works from a different artist will be highlighted for three months at a time, engaging and connecting the community with their unique and inspiring works of art.
