Education / Research Center (E/RC)

 

In addition to acquisition of works of art and promotion of artists, MOCA GA is also dedicated to education. The Education/Resource Center (E/RC) has been a central element to the museum since its establishment in 2002, which was made possible through the generous funding from the Forward Arts Foundation. Annette Cone-Skelton  envisioned the E/RC as an accessible space to preserve and the rich legacy of Georgia arts. Following a 2014 capital campaign, the museum expanded the E/RC to create a permanent collection exhibition space, digital resource bank for scholarly research, expanded art library, video installation room, and increased storage space for the growing collection.

The space is also available for community meetings of all types, which promotes the museum’s the vision that the E/RC continue to expand as a destination for students, scholars, and the community to experience and study the history of art in Georgia. MOCA GA houses a digital historical archive on an online platform, containing over 150,000 items documenting the history of Georgia artists and arts organizations.
