North Miami Center for Contemporary Art

The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, which serves one of America’s most diverse areas, reaches out with educational programming that aims to keep students in school, improve literacy, empower women, deter unsocial behavior, and ease feelings of isolation through the universal language of art. Among its acclaimed outreach programs is Women on the Rise!, in which MOCA trains local women artists to go into juvenile detention centers and other facilities to teach kids about using art to express themselves. Community art projects encourage children to take pride in their community.
