The works engage and address the challenging issues and themes of today using varying mediums of photographs, installations, performance, painting and music. There are two exhibition spaces – the Main Space and a Project Room – that have raucous public openings every six weeks or so.

Exhibits are not exclusively Canadian, but any foreign artworks will be relevant to Canadian culture. Located in the Art & Design District, MOCCA sees itself as an anchor to the smaller galleries in the area. Admission to the museum is pay-what-you-can.
