Calendar
The Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville will open its doors free of charge to all Museum Day ticketholders on Saturday, September 22, as part of Smithsonian magazine’s 14th annual Museum Day, a national celebration of boundless curiosity in which participating museums emulate the free admission policy at the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington DC-based museums.
The theme of this year’s Museum Day is Women Making History, honoring women in society who are trailblazers in the arts, sciences, innovation and culture, and emboldening others to be pioneers as well.
For Museum Day, MOCA Jacksonville will have an art activity that celebrates female artists featured in the museum’s permanent collection. Also, in the MOCA Theater the Project Atrium Documentary Series will be showing throughout the day, highlighting documentaries of female Project Atrium Artists that have shown at the museum in the Haskell Atrium Gallery.
Museum Day tickets will be available for download at Smithsonian.com/MuseumDay beginning August 15. Visitors who present a Museum Day ticket will gain free entrance for two at participating venues on September 22, 2018. One ticket is permitted per email address.
