MOCA's permanent collection reflects significant artistic developments in contemporary art by emerging and established artists from the U.S.
The expansion, to be designed by Gwathmey, will triple the museum’s current exhibition space and include such features as a new education wing, expanded facilities for public programs, and enhanced public areas. In April 2007, MOCA announced plans for the expansion of its North Miami facility to satisfy the public demand for more MOCA exhibitions, access to the permanent collection and expanded educational programming. The museum was designed by internationally acclaimed architect Charles Gwathmey of Gwathmey-Siegel, New York, who worked in conjunction with the Miami firm of Gelabert-Navia to create an exquisite space in which to experience art. The Museum of Contemporary Art opened its Joan Lehman Building in1996. The Museum carries out this mission through exhibitions and acquiring works for its permanent collection as well as related symposia, publications, films, lectures, performances, and educational outreach activities, thereby providing a forum for dialogue about contemporary art in the community. The museum is particularly interested in providing a forum for young and emerging artists and in presenting and collecting the works by local as well as internationally recognized artists.
