moCa's Mission,
Vision & Values
ABOUT OUR "WHY":
▶ ART
comes first, because it is our axis.
▶ NOW
speaks to our contemporary focus, but also obliges us to engage immediately, directly, intentionally.
▶ PROGRESS
is about advancing, achieving, growing, moving forward with momentum; it signifies our values of experimentation, integrity, and inclusion.
▶ IN PROGRESS
reminds us, however, that we are always underway, ongoing, developing, striving, adapting. moCa is alive and active like the artists we work with, whose practices are constantly evolving.
moCa's Mission:
ART
NOW,
in progress...
ABOUT OUR VALUES:
▶ CURIOSITY & EXPERIMENTATION
Artists ask questions. Like them, being curious about the world is our starting point. From this place of wonderment, we experiment. Nimble, courageous, and deliberate, our explorations lead us to new potential and create innovations that drive culture forward.
▶ EXCHANGE & RELATIONSHIPS
Our work is relational. We make meaning through exchange. By sharing, we form and nurture relationships that build trust. These connections undergird
our work, bringing value and relevance to our mission.
▶ INTEGRITY & INCLUSION
We ground our work in care, love, and trust. We use ethical and responsible business practices. We are boldly inclusive, always pursuing equity, justice, and belonging. We embrace difference, celebrate diverse perspectives, and support health and wellness.
▶ CLEVELAND & EVERYWHERE
We ground our work in our home city and serve our local community. We also inform and engage in a global art ecology. Collaborating with artists living in Cleveland or beyond, we present work and ideas that matter. We advance culture everywhere by basing our work here.
