MoCA Westport Announces Free Gallery Admission for One Year, Thanks to Anonymous Donor

 MoCA Westport [Museum of Contemporary Art, Westport] announces that admission to MoCA Westport’s gallery is now complimentary for all visitors for one year, made possible through the generous gift of an anonymous donor.  

 

“This gift supports our belief in the power of art to educate, enrich and build connections between us - a power that should be equally accessible to all in the community,” stated Ruth Mannes, MoCA Westport’s Executive Director.

 

 “Visit our exhibition, come back to show your friends what you found to be thought-provoking and meaningful, or bring the kids for a quick drop in, all at no charge,” she added.

 

The Museum has also announced that Bar MoCA, a full-service bar in the Museum, is now open during Saturday and Sunday gallery hours in addition to a weekly Happy Hour on Thursdays. The Museum will also offer free drop-in studio time for ages 4-12 from 12-2:30 PM on Saturdays. Experience the exhibition, visit the play space and garden, listen to live music, and relax in the Museum’s vast outdoor space.


As of September 16, MoCA Westport’s Fall Gallery Hours are: Wednesday: 12 - 4 PM | Thursday: 12 - 7 PM | Friday: 12 - 4 PM | Saturday & Sunday: 12 - 4 PM. The Museum is located at 19 Newtown Turnpike in Westport, CT. For more information contact the Museum at info@mocawestport.org or 203/222-7070.
