Mayoral proclamation included in patron celebration

Supporters, friends and donors of MOCA Jacksonville gathered in the museum’s atrium Feb. 29 for the unveiling of the Frank Stella installation, Jacksonville Stacked Stars, as part of MOCA’s 100th anniversary celebration.

MOCA’s Executive Director Caitlín Doherty and Trustee Emeritus Preston H. Haskell spoke at the reception, along with University of North Florida President Moez Limayem and Mayor Donna Deegan, who presented Doherty and Limayem with a mayoral proclamation.

The exhibit opening drummed up excitement for MOCA’s upcoming Centennial Gala April 6, themed “A Walk on the Wild Side” in honor of its current, ‘70s-reflective Norman E. Fisher Collection.
