MOCA GA: SELECTIONS FROM THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART OF GEORGIA 

South Terminal Concourse T                      

Curated by Hope Cohn

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia  is  a vital  part of the arts landscape in Georgia and is devoted to the growth and legacy of Georgia artists.  Museum Founder, Annette Cone-Skelton,  understood the importance of art and its impact on the community and recognized the need for an arts institution in Georgia,  committed to contemporary art:  a place to nurture and support  artists and a place to archive and catalogue the history of Georgia’s visual artists.  Through her visionary leadership, MOGA GA has grown from its humble beginnings to a leading arts institution in Atlanta.

MOGA GA:  Selections From the Museum of Contemporary  Art of Georgia,  celebrates this important institution and provides a glimpse into the breadth of the collection,  programming and the growth of the museum.

Museums play a key role  in supporting  artists, collecting  their  work,  educating and inspiring the community. Like its rich soil,  Georgia is deep rooted in creativity that has cultivated an abundance of talented  visual artists. MOGA GA serves the unique role of connecting  us to our rich  artistic past while opening doors to the future. Through programs such as the museum’s Working Artists Project,  Georgia artists are offered the freedom to be original,  independent  and share their voices  through their craft.

In 2020, at the opening of this exhibition, MOGA GA marked its twentieth  anniversary. The exhibition  celebrates the talented  artists and visionaries who have contributed to MOCA GA’s success.  If you’re  passing through this exhibition  and headed to Atlanta for a while,  we hope that you will visit  MOGA GA where you will be inspired and enlightened.
