MOCA Blogger A decade in the making, the groundbreaking for MOCA's new home had all the trappings of a major celebration -- exuberant board directors and other donors, community leaders and friends, plus confetti and a champagne toast to top off the festivities. ]]> Held February 8 at the Cleveland Institute of Art Joseph McCullough Center for the Visual Arts, some 125 people gathered to mark the historic day that symbolically launches the new building, slated to open in the fall of 2012. The indoor location, generously offered by CIA, overlooks the building site, and only a few blocks from MOCA’s birthplace—a storefront at Euclid and 117th Street. Soon, MOCA and CIA will anchor the $150 million-plus Uptown development in University Circle. Capital Campaign Chair and Board of Directors member Stewart Kohl kicked off the celebration by acknowledging the role of Case Western Reserve University in helping MOCA plant its flag at the "best possible location—the intersection of Euclid and Mayfield. This neighborhood will soon earn coveted bragging rights as the coolest place between New York and Chicago," Kohl said. "At the core of every thriving urban center you will find a dynamic contemporary art museum that serves as a symbol of innovation, of creativity and of risk taking." Saying that it "takes the strength of a community to pull together behind a vision," Executive Director Jill Snyder thanked the board, the building project team and a dedicated staff for its hard work. David Abbott, Executive Director of the George Gund Foundation, praised the contributions that MOCA makes to the cultural vitality of Cleveland. "Their presence in University Circle will increase the cutting edge activity of the area, and the mixed use development planned here will allow people to experience the Circle in a very different way. Art forces us to confront and embrace change," Abbott stressed. Board chair Scott Mueller reminded the audience that while the $26.7 million in construction costs have been secured for MOCA’s new home, fundraising continues to reach the $32.6 million goal, which will ensure that MOCA can be self-sustaining, in the future. Other speakers included: Edward FitzGerald, County Executive, Cuyahoga County; Barbara Snyder, President, Case Western Reserve University; Ronn Richard, President and CEO, Cleveland Foundation; and Paul Clark, Regional President, Cleveland, PNC Bank. Joining the speakers with hard hats and shovels to send streamers and confetti skyward were: Dick Cahoon, Julie Criscione, Mac Donley, Becky Dunn, Don Drier, Char Fowler, Toby Devan Lewis, Ron Neill, and Paul Westlake.
