**About Museum of Contemporary Art**:
The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto is at the heart of the art ecosystem. MOCA will be ambitiously inclusive, interdisciplinary, and internationally renowned through our work with artists. A place for everyone to explore that provokes ideas and discussion and challenges the current cultural moment.

Artists, relationships, and experimentation are at the centre of everything we do. MOCA Toronto presents rotating exhibitions and programmes that prioritize twenty-first-century artistic production, primarily through commissioning new work. We foster active dialogue, participation and celebrate complexity; in order to serve as an inclusive cultural hub in this hyper-diverse city and world.
- Equity, inclusion, and access
- Artist-centered, interdisciplinary and process-oriented
- Critical conversations and transformative work at our core
- Reciprocal and relationship-based
- Locally rooted and globally connected
- Courage and Responsibility

MOCA is a twenty-year-old institution that has experienced numerous iterations over the years. However, two main aspects have remained constant:

- The institution has served as an important gathering space in Toronto and Canada for artists to experiment, celebrate complexity, and offer thought-provoking responses to the current cultural moment
- MOCA has been and is constantly evolving and expanding with our times

In September 2018, MOCA moved into the Auto BLDG, a purpose-designed home in a former industrial space at the heart of a new neighbourhood in the Lower Junction.
