The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026.

Under Executive Director Chana Sheldon, who has led the museum since 2018, the institution has fostered connections between local creatives and the international art world, mounting landmark exhibitions such as “AFRICOBRA: Messages to the People” (2018), which later traveled to the Venice Biennale. Current shows include a 15-year survey of Hiba Schahbaz and the first museum exhibition of Diana Eusebio, both curated by women.
