MOCA Cleveland presents programs throughout the year, geared toward all audiences. Artist talks, gallery tours and programs like One Hour | One Work make learning about current exhibitions exciting. The MOCA ArtSquad's Beauregard and Cherry are here to help our newest and youngest art lovers to LOOK. THINK. SHARE. MOCA also knows how to throw a party from time to time. Bring your friends and enjoy a night on the town in the iconic MOCA building with innovations on nightlife inspired by the art in the galleries.

Open Projector Night March
Friday 8:00pm

Pay what you can ($5 suggested donation, free for members)

You provide the film, we provide the projector, and the audience provides the cheers, jeers, or curious silence. Open Projector Night brings experts and novices together to share and review a diverse range of original short films, open mic-style. All genres are welcome from experimental pieces to animated narratives, so there’s no telling where the night will go. Films must be 10-minutes or less and are added to the line-up on a first-come, first-served basis until we reach a 60-minute program.

Performance Program

The Leyla McCalla Trio at The Grog Shop
Thursday 8:00pm

Curated by MOCA Cleveland. In partnership with The Grog Shop. Tickets $15 (MOCA Members save $5. Email Ruthie Haggerty at [email protected] for discount code)

Leyla McCalla is a New York-born Haitian-American living in New Orleans, who sings in French, Haitian Creole and English, and plays cello, tenor banjo and guitar. Deeply influenced by traditional Creole, Cajun and Haitian music, as well as by American jazz and folk, her music is at once earthy, elegant, soulful and witty — it vibrates with three centuries of history, yet also feels strikingly fresh, distinctive and contemporary.
