MOCA’s Education Outreach programs Women on the Rise! & Art Corps aim to broadcast a new vocabulary of art, empowerment, and pride, created through dissecting and understanding the broad spectrum of issues addressed by contemporary art. MOCA not only facilitates these gender-specific programs to its immediate North Miami community but also offers workshops through all of Miami-Dade County, and trains local artist-instructors to lead each workshop, in hopes to continue expanding locally, and pilot a nationwide effort in cultural institutions that is inclusive of all teen demographics, using contemporary art as its platform to form an improved community, immersed in awareness and with proactive actions concerning issues of social justice.
