Free Saturdays at MOCA

MOCA Jacksonville | Downtown Jacksonville

Enjoy free admission every Saturday at MOCA, and, as the museum is in the midst of its 100th-year celebration, this Saturday is as good a day as any to check what’s on view.  Of note, A Walk on the Wild Side explores an undeniably fertile time (and place) in contemporary art –1970s New York City – with works by Andy Warhol, Philip Glass, David Bowie, Yoko Ono and Robert Mapplethorpe. Voices of Moncrief features the multi-media work of University of North Florida Student-In-Residence Elysa Adams and Stacked Stars, a site-specific installation created by influential American artist Frank Stella currently fills the museum’s atrium.
