About the company
Museum Of Contemporary Art, doing business as Museum Of Contemporary Art Store, is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from arts and cultural agencies, with no federal contracting activity. The organization operates exclusively under grant awards from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and related federal agencies.
Across its recent federal grant footprint, MCA has received 18 prime grant awards totaling $6.2 million obligated in funding since 2022, complemented by one sub-grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity. The grant portfolio centers on exhibition development, artist documentation, public programming, and institutional capacity-building. Representative recent work includes a $1.1 million IMLS Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) project grant awarded in September 2024 to expand Spanish-language visitor support through staff training, bilingual materials production, website improvements, and external evaluation through August 2026; an IMLS project grant awarded in September 2022 to build internal evaluation capacity and visitor-engagement assessment infrastructure, running through February 2027; and multiple NEA project grants supporting exhibitions and catalogues — including support for Kenzi Shiokava artworks (awarded March 2026, completing February 2027), Gary Simmons works (2023), and Caribbean diaspora artists (2022).
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the National Endowment for the Arts, which accounts for 12 of the organization's 19 total awards in the source. IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) has issued 2 awards; the Smithsonian Institution, the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science round out the agency set, each with one award. Two awards (combined estimated value not specified in source) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and are therefore subject to recompete or renewal. MCA's grant activity has been sporadic — one award in 2018, three in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026 — with no federal contracting vehicles, IDIQs, or teaming relationships in the source data. The organization operates as a grant recipient, not a federal contractor or subcontractor.
