Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit

LEARNING

The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit is committed to providing visitors with a learning experience that will give them insight into MOCAD’s special exhibitions and the historical and cultural contexts in which these works of art are made. MOCAD hopes to make contemporary art inviting and accessible to the community, through hands on workshops, guided tours, monthly family days, and special programming related to our current exhibitions.

FAMILY DAY

Once a month, on the third sunday, visitors are invited to participate in a range of art-making activities that highlight our current exhibitions. These workshops are free and welcome families with children of all ages.

Take a look at our upcoming Family Days.

WORKSHOPS

MOCAD's special workshops provide unique hands-on opportunities for learning through cutting edge contemporary art and the artist that make them. By utilizing our unique place in the community we are able to bring Detroit youth in direct contact with influential artists and their art making process. The workshops take advantage of MOCADS large industrial space allowing for more diverse, experimental, and open forms of expression.

Take a look at our upcoming Workshops.

TOURS

MOCAD offers guided group visits for all ages, backgrounds, and interests. Museum educators promote discussion allowing visitors to make connections between art and everyday.

Teachers are welcome to contact the education department if they wish to tailor their MOCAD experience to enhance their curriculum.

Please contact Katie McGowan, Curator of Education, at kmcgowan@mocadetroit.org to schedule a tour.
All MOCAD tours are free and open to the public.
