**About Museum of Contemporary Art**:
**Vision**:
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.

**Mission**:
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.

**Values**:

- 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

**Brief History**:
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.
