Following the celebration of its centenary in 2024, MOCA Jacksonville is launching Jax Contemporary, a triennial art exhibition highlighting the immense talent of artists in Northeast Florida. Artists were invited to submit their applications in late 2024. Since then, each of the nearly 500 applications were reviewed by MOCA Senior Curator Ylva Rouse and Guest Curator Adeze Wilford and 64 artists were selected to be in the exhibition. Through this exhibition, MOCA seeks to support and promote the contemporary art practices of our area, sharing the broad vitality of artistic voices representing this moment in Jacksonville’s history with the general public.


Ideas of Our Times: Jax Contemporary Artist Talks take place during Free Museum Nights @ MOCA presented by Florida Blue and VyStar Free Saturdays.
