MOCA Cleveland's ArtCast program is an innovative educational project fusing the contemporary art with technology to enrich the experience of art interpretation and appreciation. 
 
The voice and vision of contemporary artists, critics, curators, and art historians come alive through ArtCasts and help to make the experience of viewing art a multi-sensory one. ArtCasts are MOCA’s custom–produced podcasts, e.g. audio-guides in mp3 format. From our website, these digital audio files can be downloaded onto personal computers or mp3 players. ArtCasts also are available via phone at 216.354.3960 through Guide by Cell. Numbers for each ArtCast can be found on the objects labels in MOCA’s galleries.
