Our teaching staff collaborated this weekend to build art workshops inspired by justice, kindness, and love. Today’s session started with a group discussion of Dr. King’s legacy, and then broke out into small classes. One lesson included making mobiles that had decorations and clouds. The clouds had either written descriptions or pictures of what the children think we need to do to make a brighter future. Another lesson was inspired by Shepard Fairey’s “We The People” campaign where students worked on poetry and portraits. Students also collaborated to create a mosaic drawing of MLK

With these kids - the future is in great hands ✨💛

Protest Signs from 1992
January 11–February 23, 2020
#markflood
Text by Bob Nickas #bobnickas
“Mark Flood Under the Sign of Art”
1992 was a leap year. Would there be a leap of faith, or one from the nearest rooftop? On the one hand, the Cold War was over, the European Union was founded, apartheid had been brought to an end, the last nuclear test had been conducted in Nevada, and the very first text message had been sent. On the other, seemingly jammed into an empty pocket, America’s economy had tanked under the Republicans, war raged in Bosnia, and the acquittal of four white officers of the LAPD, whose brutal beating of a black man had been caught on video, set off six days of rioting that left more than sixty dead, with damages in excess of a billion dollars. So much for the motto: To Protect and to Serve. Most grim was the reality of an ongoing nightmare: more than 100,000 dead of AIDS in the United States. Conservative politicians and their supporters saw the epidemic as a form of divine retribution, good Christians all, believing it deserved condemnation and neglect. A gauntlet had been thrown down, the “Culture Wars” had begun, and in the battles since and those before us now, war presents itself as perpetual, the polarities never reversed: us and them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM MoCA WESTPORT! While this yea

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM MoCA WESTPORT!

While this year has been full of twists and turns, we managed to make the best of it. It feels like a lifetime ago that we were displaying Yayoi Kusama's "Narcissus Garden" in Gallery B and hosting Kenny Barron and Matt Hamiovitz in Gallery A pre pandemic. After a (very sad!) dark period at MoCA we were able to finally show Helmut Lang, and host a robust outdoor concert series including The American String Quartet, The Alexa Tarantino Quartet, Fred Hersch Trio and of course, Wynton Marsalis. As the outdoor concert season ended, and Helmut Lang was packed up we opened our doors quickly once again for "World Peace", MoCA's very first group show.
Family Painting Day had Trace Burroughs lead us to a Guiness World Record while Hopalong Andrew sang his fun cowboy tunes. And who could forget our recent Holiday Open House where we introduced our new Teen Council and enjoyed the caroling of the Staples High School Orphenians?!?
Our academics grew through our POD Learning/Arts Enrichment program, and our renovated art classes that were adjusted to cater to the needs of our community in terms of price point, time commitment, and even offering classes via zoom for those who prefer that classroom.
It's crazy to see what we've accomplished this year, especially in the midst of a pandemic - and we owe it all to you. Thank you for your support from the donations, to enrolling in an art class, to going to a concert, to stopping by the gallery, to picking something up in the gift shop, or even just following us on social media - all of it means so much, and does so much.
Can't wait to see what 2021 brings our entire community!

Winter Recess has been a blast! There’s still time to pick up a class (or as many as you’d like!!!!) on our website - link in bio!
