MOCA | Downtown Jacksonville
As MOCA celebrates its 100-year anniversary, the Downtown museum is stacked with new exhibitions. MOCA’s A Century of the Contemporary traces the history of the institution, while the late Frank Stella’s large-scale sculpture installation, Jacksonville Stacked Stars, fills Project Atrium. New York-based artist Emil Alzamora’s multidisciplinary exhibit, Starship Abundance, remains on view. And an exhibition of more than 100 works – many of which by less-heralded artists hailing from the Deep South – called Fill My Heart With Hope: Works From The Gordon W. Bailey Collection, fills two floors of the museum. MOCA is open from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is always free on Saturdays. More info.
Friday & Saturday
Lumen Repertory Theatre presents Cadillac Crew
San Marco Church | San Marco
Jacksonville-based regional theatre company Lumen Repertory presents a new production of playwright Tori Sampson’s critically acclaimed Cadillac Crew. The play, which premiered at Yale Repertory in 2019, follows four 1960s-era civil rights activists – Rachel, Abby, Dee and Sarah – navigating the limits of their place both in society and within the protest movement itself. It’s described “as a story of sisterhood and the complexities of the fight for equality.” Both Friday’s opening night production and Saturday’s begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets and more info.
Sunday
Cameron Carpenter
St. John’s Cathedral | Downtown Jacksonville
