The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)is a nonprofit institution which exists to foster awareness, exploration

and understanding of the significant art of our time. Through excellence

and diversity in our exhibitions and educational programs, MOCA stim-

ulates individual thinking and dialogue throughout the community.

This architectural-award-winning facility consists of three primary rental

spaces: an atrium, a 268-seat auditorium, and the Rodriguez Pavilion,

plus galleries featuring a variety of contemporary art. This combination

of contemporary style and fine art creates a dramatic backdrop for any

special event, including parties, weddings, conferences, and meetings.

MOCA can also host a variety of performing arts events.

MOCA is conveniently located in the heart of the Virginia Beach resort

district, just six blocks from the oceanfront on Parks Avenue and I-264.

The Museum is also directly across from the Virginia Beach Convention

Center and the Visitor’s Center. Two parking areas provide free, on-site

parking. All areas are handicap accessible.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate affair for close friends or a business

function for several hundred guests, MOCA offers a high-class setting,

first-rate service, and competitive rates.
