The
world of contemporary art continues to flourish with
new innovations and developments at one of Miami’s
finest international art museums. The Museum of
Contemporary Art features an interesting blend of
both elite and emerging talent, displaying international
masterpieces and local artistic works. The jewel of
the Museum, however, lies in the architecture of the
facility itself. Erected in February of 1996, this
spectacular structure is bound to seduce any
contemporary art buff with its jagged surfaces,
moveable walls and high-rise ceilings.
Once
visitors get passed the lavish entrance, designed to
suit South Florida’s tropical taste, the Museum
offers 12,000 square-feet of exhibition space. Each
year, the Museum presents at least eight exhibits
with themes ranging from cultural identity issues to
Surrealist explorations to the illusions of light
and space. Occasionally, the permanent collection
serves as the basis for the Museum's exhibits,
featuring paintings, photographs, sculptures and
more.
I
n an
effort to provide valuable learning resources, the
Museum hosts a number of educational programs for
all ages. Aside from promoting the contemporary arts
through lectures and workshops, the Museum
encourages an appreciation for both visual and
performing arts. One of the more popular monthly
programs, "Music at MoCA," brings in
members of the New World Symphony to perform at the
facility.
Call the Museum for information on other
programs.
The
Museum of Contemporary Art is located in North
Miami. From I-95, go east on the 125th
Street exit. The Museum is on the south side of the
street between 7th and 8th
Avenues. Free parking is available behind and next to
