PERMANENT COLLECTION

COLLECTING THE ART OF NOW

MOCA Jacksonville primarily collects work from 1960 to the present. The museum’s permanent collection currently consists of more than 1,000 works of art, including painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, works on paper, and new media. With more than 500 artists represented in the collection, MOCA Jacksonville endeavors to create a Permanent Collection of significant depth, scope, and quality to be used for study, scholarly research, and exhibition—all tools that foster education, awareness, and experience with contemporary visual art.

Collection Database

To make our collection more accessible, we have created a new online database that you can explore. As we continue to conduct research, photograph works in our collection, and acquire new works, these records will be updated.

New to the Collection

MOCA Jacksonville is an actively collecting institution. Our mission is to promote the discovery, knowledge, and advancement of the art, artists, and ideas of our time. One of the ways we fulfill this mission is by increasing the scope and quality of the museum's permanent collection of contemporary works through donations and purchases.
