The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, (MOCCA), was officially founded from the former Art Gallery of North York in 1999 with a mandate to exhibit, research, collect, and promote innovative art by Canadian artists whose works engage and reflect the relevant stories of our times.
MOCCA currently exists as a not-for-profit, arms-length agency of the City of Toronto's Culture Division.
MOCCA’s relocation into downtown Toronto in January 2005 is central to achieving a bold vision. In the heart of one of North America's most dynamic arts communities, our facility is modest in scale, impressive in design and functions effectively as a nucleus of energies for the production and exchange of creativity, ideas and innovation.
MOCCA’s exhibition program reflects a dynamic yet balanced approach to presenting the wide range of ideas and media being explored by established artists at advanced stages of practice, and emerging artists who have demonstrated strong promise and exceptional commitment. In addition, MOCCA includes work by non-Canadian artists in group exhibitions, thereby creating a global context for the Canadian cultural voice.
