Museum Of Contemporary Art

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), located in Los Angeles, California, is a non-profit corporate entity registered in SAM.gov since 2007 and dedicated to exhibiting and preserving contemporary art. As a tax-exempt cultural institution, MOCA focuses on presenting innovative and groundbreaking visual art exhibitions that explore diverse artistic movements and cultural narratives. The museum has consistently received federal grant awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, which supports its curatorial and exhibition development efforts.

Through its federal grant awards, MOCA has pursued significant exhibition projects that reexamine and highlight important artistic movements and individual artists. The museum has received project grants to support exhibitions such as a comprehensive examination of the Photorealism movement, an exhibition featuring the work of Judith F. Baca titled "World Wall", and a project centered on developing exhibitions and accompanying catalogues that provide scholarly context to artistic movements. Each grant award typically spans approximately one year and focuses on creating in-depth, research-driven exhibitions that contribute to the broader understanding of contemporary art. The National Endowment for the Arts has been the primary funding agency for these grants, providing financial support that enables MOCA to develop and present culturally significant art exhibitions that explore complex artistic narratives and historical perspectives.
