WELCOME
to the tenth year of the
MOCA’zine
! The MuseumOf Contemporary Art, North Miami, is delighted to work with the talented young people of our community on an arts and culture magazine created by and for teens. Over the past year, students from North Miami Middleand High schools have visited MOCA regularly to learn about contemporary art, journalism, poetry, and creative writing through lectures, discussions with artists, exhibitions, tours and editorial meetings. Subsequently, they researched and wrote articles, created photographs, generated images, anddesigned the issue. Once again we are proud to feature work by students inMOCA’s program, Women on the Rise!, and articles by students in MOCA’sSummer Journalism Institute. The fruition of their hard work is evident!The goal of MOCA’zine is to acquaint teens with career opportunities in
the elds of art and journalism as well as to introduce teens to the world of
contemporary art and enable them to make connections with our exhibitions.MOCA’s teen programs are made possible through fundingfrom The Children’s Trust, National Endowment for the Arts,Florida Department of Education and the School Borad of Miami-Dade County, Jan and Dan Lewis, the Arnold S.
