The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) is Brooklyn, New York's first and only museum with a focus on the art, culture and history of African Americans and the African Diaspora at large. From its inception in December 1999, MoCADA has remained committed to fostering a greater awareness of the art and culture of the African Diaspora as it relates to contemporary urban issues through innovative exhibitions, public programs and interactive tours. MoCADA has quickly become a significant part of the cultural fabric of Brooklyn, partnering with organizations such as the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn Children's Museum and Brooklyn Academy of Music. Currently, MoCADA mounts four exhibitions per year and organizes thirty public programs related to these exhibitions. Integral to the mission of MoCADA is their commitment to community outreach; they have created several successful programs that bring jobs to the community, including the P.S. 262 Artist in Residence Program, the High School Internship Program and the KID Flix Film Festival of Bed-Stuy held each year in historic Fulton Park. |
