Saturday
Brennan Wojtyla: Cathedral of Labor
MOCA Jax | Downtown Jacksonville
Brennan Wojtyla is the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville’s newest artist-in-residence. In Cathedral of Labor, the multidisciplinary artist and University of North Florida class of 2022 alum uses found artifacts of modern living and human intervention – say, a cinderblock, curb markings, debris – to explore utilitarian form and process and question the very definition of art. MOCA is open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; noon-5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free on Saturdays. More info here.
Saturday
