2011 Summer Program

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles is a young and bold presenter of new art. Construct MOCA-Me, your own micro museum. Study and recreate works that MOCA-LA has collected. Just as MOCA-LA launches its first major exhibition of Street Art this summer, contribute to our first exhibition of EWM Street Art.

Work in chalk, paint, wire, wood and imagination.

MOCA-LA is a collaboration with Site Projects New Haven. Site Projects is a community based non-profit organization that commissions site-specific art projects in the public realm in New Haven by internationally-recognized artists. The goal is to present visual art that appeals to a broad and diverse audience and that is site-specific to New Haven, an economically and ethnically mixed city that supports a vibrant arts community and many other cultural resources.

If you're interested in street art for kids, be sure to check out Chicken Nugget Lemon Tooty's Rock On!, a cute gallery of "pet rock" monsters one family painted up and sent out in to the world. Inspired by that, Banksy Meets Buttons discusses materials and projects for safe, disposable street art which won't permanently mark up the world the way that tagging in paint or ink does.
