The Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, as well known as MOCA Jacksonville, is a contemporary art museum in Jacksonville, Florida, funded and operated equally a "cultural constitute" of the University of Northward Florida. One of the largest gimmicky art institutions in the Southeastern United States, information technology presents exhibitions by international, national and regional artists.

History [edit]

MOCA Jacksonville was founded in 1924 as the Jacksonville Fine Arts Society,^[2] the kickoff arrangement in the Jacksonville community devoted to the visual arts. In 1948 the Museum was incorporated as the Jacksonville Art Museum, and in 1978 it became the beginning institution in Jacksonville to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

In late 1999 the Museum acquired its permanent home, the celebrated Western Union Telegraph Building on Hemming Plaza, built by The Auchter Company, adjacent to the newly renovated City Hall, and became the Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art (JMOMA). In 2000, a serial of preview exhibitions opened in a temporary exhibition space while the building facade was restored to its original Art Deco fashion. The interior was completely refurbished to house the Museum'due south galleries, educational facilities, a theater/auditorium, Museum Store and Café Nola. Total renovation of the 60,000-square-foot (5,600 mⁱⁱ), vi-floor facility was completed in 2003, culminating in a grand re-opening in May of that yr.^[iii]

Growth [edit]

Afterward moving to its downtown location the Museum experienced rapid growth in both membership and the size of the permanent collection. The many substantial additions to the drove increased not only its quality, but besides its size to virtually 800 pieces. After completing a recent review of the electric current scope of the Museum'southward collection and exhibitions, discussions were held regarding the distinctions between modern and contemporary fine art, as well as the Museum'southward mission and vision for the hereafter. It was decided that in gild for the Museum to convey a strong sense of identity and purpose to both the community and other art institutions beyond the land, its proper name should change. Therefore, in November 2006, JMOMA became the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville.^[iv]

The Museum continues to be a cornerstone of Jacksonville'southward multibillion-dollar downtown revitalization program.^[5] Its exhibitions and programming bring new visitors to the civic core during the day, at night and on weekends. Educational programming includes children's literacy initiatives and weekend art making classes every bit well as regular tours, lectures, films and publications for children and adults.

MOCA Jacksonville is an inviting surroundings in which to learn about the art of our time. Stroll through the permanent collection galleries and view the works of Hans Hofmann, Joan Mitchell, James Rosenquist, Ed Paschke, and other contemporary masters. MOCA Jacksonville's changing exhibitions feature the works of many contemporary artists working in a wide array of media from painting, sculpture, and video. The third floor hosts exhibitions, which rotate approximately every 4 months, designed to provide insightful, stimulating and educational experiences.

The University of N Florida acquired the museum in 2009 to act equally a cultural resource of the university.^[6]
