Here’s a roundup of MOCA's upcoming Book Club events. Each season’s book is inspired by current MOCA exhibitions and concludes with a hybrid discussion at MOCA and online. June’s selection is Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguch.
MOCA’s spring exhibitions, Philip Smith’s Magnetic Fields and Vickie Pierre’s The Maiden is The Warrior, carry on in full swing. We invite you to come experience both shows together this summer.
