MOCA Jacksonville’s permanent collection, which focuses on art from 1960 to the present, is made up of 800 works that represent a diverse array of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, and printmaking. Robert Rauschenberg, Alexander Calder, Hans Hoffman, and Helen Frankenthaler are among the distinguished contemporary artists represented in the collection. The ArtExplorium Loft brings modern art alive for children with interactive stations that allow hands-on exploration, and the museum’s five exhibition galleries provide fresh art experiences for frequent grown-up visitors. The MOCA also hosts lectures, a film series, artist studio tours, and the monthly Art Walk.
