Madison Museum of Contemporary Art

In 1901, the Madison Art Association was founded by a small community group in a city of 19,000 inhabitants and 1,800 University of Wisconsin students. An independent, non-profit museum, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) features exhibitions by local, regional, national, and international artists. MMoCA's permanent collection of more than 5000 works of art is maintained and enlarged through gifts and purchases. The Exhibitions Department organizes or presents approximately twelve exhibitions each year. Mainstays of the museum's Education Department include lectures by noted curators, art scholars, and local and national artists; film and video programs; programs for families; guided tours for students and the general public; school programs and resources for teachers. MMoCA's programs and exhibitions serve more than 200,000 people annually. Another 200,000 attend popular outreach programs such as Art Cart and Art Fair on the Square.
