Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland in East Cleveland

Although these pictures are from a few years ago (2018), the sense of artistry is still forever there.The MOCA building is one of a kind and a very cool place to see some great art in Cleveland.I cannot say enough about how I appreciate places like this.I hope to get back soon as art is always changing and very much reflects our world in unique perspectives.It would be a high honor to have some of my work in the Halls this place one day.Because I live in the very west border edge of the rust belt, its a challenge to get any acknowledgment by any of the art groups, galleries and museums in Cleveland.But my work will make it there one day... Its strange how Ive shown in places like New York City, and all up and down the East Coast, but never close to home in such a capacity.If youre affiliated with one of these larger galleries in Cleveland, holla at your boy!!! Hahaha 😅😂

Visited the museum for a special event. Awesome experience. Will definitely return.

The workers were excellent. The exhibitions were not what I was expecting, subpar.

Great spot for contemporary art in an unusual building

𝐌𝐨𝐂𝐀 is a incredible museum that I frequent a few times every year.

Striking exterior + free admission! Limited gallery exhibits

Have some ok-ish exhibits though was quite underwhelming looking at the building from outside. I think its better to visit if there are any special exhibits rather than doing a walk-in. Good part is the free entry.

The museum building sited on a prominent corner of Mayfield Road and Euclid Avenue is a striking element of University Circle and the Uptown neighborhood. I think it is especially set off in the winter when the trees surrounding the structure are bare. These photos were taken on a rare sunny January morning.

I attended the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCAto see an exhibit by artist Dexter Davis. The exhibit was free and open to the public from 6pm-9pm on the day I went. I enjoyed the exhibit. It was well presented and very informative. The artist was also present on the day I was there.

Hello My Name Is Ebay Fuller,First Thing I Want To Mention Is The Omnipresence Of Terry, To See Someone There Everyday Shows How Much He Cares And Is Indulged Into What He Is Doing And Loves. The Level Of Skill Shown At The Minimal Age Of 21 Is Outstanding; Being Able To See The Hard Work And Thought Put Into Each Piece. Lastly The Energy That Circles That Room Is Beautiful And Inspiring To Artist Of All Styles.To Terry I Just Want Say I Am Proud Of This Amazing Accomplishment For You Completely Major. Especially As A Black Male In Cleveland, Ohio Is Gives Hope To The Community That There Are People Here That’s Meant To Impact Individuals, Families Etc. Much Love 🥂

This Exhibit Was Beyond Amazing, From The Artwork, The Paragraphs From His Journal Telling A Story, The Music, Etc.. I Loved Everything About This Exhibit & I’m So Happy I Was Able To Experience It.

I got the chance to FINALLY see “The Pinkest Hue” by Terry Joshua and it was the most amazing experience ever! The vibe was set from the moment the elevator doors opened. The music and playlist with the art!!! Captivating! I was brought into his world with his art. So glad I got to meet him and speak to him, humble and beautiful soul. Can’t wait for what’s next! I would love to purchase one of these magnificent works! Please bring him back soon!!!!!

The staff at the museum were super friendly and welcoming. I visited the MoCA to check out the Terry Joshua exhibit The Pinkest Hue and I was not disappointed. The vibes were immaculate from the jump. The music along with Terrys energy set the space off. The art Terry shares is raw, full of emotion and gives you a peek inside his life experiences. I checked it out three times and everytime I found something new to appreciate.

This museum is such a great experience! They showcase great talent while maintaining a safe and sanitary environment. I visited Moca twice in the past two months to experience Terry Joshua’s The Pinkest Hue. If you didn’t get a chance to witness the exhibit in person, for yourself, you truly missed out on something amazing. Several times throughout the exhibit, I found myself speechless and in awe. Not only does Terry Joshua tell his own story, he speaks of a journey we’ve all been on in some way or fashion, through his artwork. I am so grateful to have seen an exhibit like this one and can’t wait to see what Terry Joshua has in store for his supporters next!

The Pinkest Hue was truly an inspiration. It revealed the truth that anything you want, is indeed achievable. Terry himself is destined for success, he warmly welcomed everyone and was extremely thrilled to further explain each piece with guests. Behind each piece of art was a piece of himself, his vulnerability/transparency is what I admired most about this whole exhibit/experience. As for his talent, it speaks for itself and I am excited for what’s next.

Terry Joshua’s ‘The Pinkest Hue’ was an amazing experience. Everything was well thought out—from the organization and placement of each piece, to the music that was played in the background, even to the room that was selected. All these factors combined created an environment like no other. Having seen the growth of his artwork in real time from his first show in 2019 to this show in 2021 is a clear indicator of how far and high he will fly in the future.

Terry Joshua’s “The Pinkest Hue” is a experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. I enjoyed every aspect of the exhibit from the moment I walked in I was greeted by the very friendly staff who directed me to the exhibit I also was greeted by the legend himself Mr. Joshua with such kindness and generosity. I have visited many exhibits before but this one specifically has accomplished something in which many of the others haven’t which was touch my soul,heart and mind. The whole experience was very enjoyable from the vivid colors, powerful imagery ,heart felt poems and the synonymous themes showed through out his art work. The exhibit had such a profound effect on me that I revisited the exhibit for a second time. I feel truly blessed to have had the chance to experience the exhibit and it’s something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

This gallery I saw was so indulging I had to come back & see it twice. No matter where you came from there is a journey & if you didn’t know when you got there. You most definitely knew when you left. This particular gallery hit home for me , coming from a broken home trying to navigate through painful situations not knowing how to express myself lead me to art & .. leaving here left me with a breath of fresh air knowing It’s okay to embrace those feelings cause when it all comes together we get master pieces like The Pinkest Hue , Thank You Again Mr. Terry Joshua ..

“The pinkest hue “ was by far a phenomenal set of art pieces, very beautiful artwork terry joshua did a great job composing these pieces I hope to see more from this artist in the future 10/10

Terry Joshua’s x The Pinkest Hue. 2021Pushing the agenda of vulnerability! Artist explains the realness of a childhood x coming of age story involving the lessons, struggles x adversities many don’t mention.Ultimately giving us a venture of his story//what makes him who he is today. His art conveyed that through trauma, hell & more. You can always preserve this exhibit was only the beginning. Terry Joshua is truly a genius. While every piece felt like freedom. The artist made sure to hold an conversation with every visitor, the music x the energy constantly bounced…this was truly more than an experience.Thank you, Terry Joshua. More than ecstatic to see what’s next for you! Heavy is the Head.

Visited “the pinkest hue” by terry joshua opening night, the experience was unmatched. The combination of such compelling artwork alongside the poetry and great music made for an overall brilliant exhibit. Glad I got to experience it here at MOCA

Terry Joshua exhibit the “Pinkest Hue” was a pure display of artistic genius ! The young artist really took his time in crafting art that not only spoke on his personal woes and triumphs but allowed the viewers to take their personal interpretations and paint their personal story with his beautifully crafted pieces.Terry set the tone with adding background music, this paired perfectly as I personally was able to view the paintings and read the journal entries or poems associated with them. The handsome young artist made himself available at the end for questions which made the experience even more beautiful. Pictures definitely does not do his art justice, if your in the Cleveland area you definitely need to visit the Pinkest Hue before the end of the year and keep Terry Joshua as an artist to look out for!

Art imitating life. Progression leading to ones own profession. Imagination bringing about reality. The burgeoning young artist Joshua Terry Johnsons exhibition of The Pinkest Hues...it was raw and gritty yet refined and concerted. Watching his story unfold in the medium of paint and music not only was breathtaking..it was awe inspiring. Each illustration thrust the viewer into Johnsons world and allows you too question the values which have been planted in our psyche. You can see and feel even though conflicted...if one stays grounded in his own truths...surely goodness and mercy will follow you.

The Pinkest Hue: I’m truly moved and inspired.This is one of the most moving showings of art I’ve witnessed.All the details and nuances felt so familiar as if I lived these pieces…….and I sort of did.Terry’s work was powerful, aesthetically pleasing and soul grabbing. I could tell with every line drawn and with every brush stroke there was pain being realized and released and I am happy that I got to see twice in person.I thoroughly enjoyed The Pinkest Hue and I look forward to what Terry Joshua does next!

The Pinkest Hue by Terry Joshua was such a captivating experience. I loved every bit of the exhibition. The poetry, music, and art told a visual story of his journey from his adolescence years into adulthood. The most amazing part was his presence. To be able to interact and connect with Terry after viewing the exhibit was certainly a pleasure and a moment I won’t take for granted.

Today I went to MOCA and saw Terry Joshua’s exhibit in the Lewis Gallery. I was blown away with not only the visual art but the story telling behind the art. It was a personal and intimate exhibit that should be seen by as many people as possible. I’m excited for what Terry creates next !

"The Pinkest Hue" by Terry Joshua is truly a sight to behold. These works are filled with emotion and pure artistry. Every part of this exhibit fits together to tell a brilliant story. I have never felt as much from an exhibit as I felt from this one. Terry Joshuas works really capture the true meaning of art.

The MOCA museum has always been a place of outstanding artwork with even more exceptional artists who create the work. The two artist of the season Joyce Morrow Jones and Terry Joshua have used their medias to not only catch the eye of the viewer but to tell a story. A story of love, loss, pain, triumph and most importantly history. The powerful imagery and use of textures, patterns, and bold colors. Made each piece stand out on its own, and stand in harmony with the next. If you haven’t experienced the hardworking talent that is of these two artists at the museum, you’re missing out!

Terry Joshua’s “The Pinkest Hue” exhibit is one of the most compelling art installations I’ve experienced. Going through the roller coaster of being a young soul in this generation, Terry’s ability to translate that experience is like no other. I strongly recommend anyone, of any age to go and experience his art. The best part is that even though he didn’t have to be, he was there to greet all of us and guide us through the experience. His art speaks for itself, God’s work manifested.

Have been back several times for the Terry Joshua exhibit. His artwork was very inspirational and as an African American myself would love to see more of our peers with artwork in this space. The MOCA Cleveland usually always offer forward-moving artwork. Looking forward to what’s next for Terry andMOCA

The Staff at the moCa was wonderful and very insightful. The Pinkest Hue exhibit was my favorite and I urge everyone to go see it. Terry Joshua’s art seems very personal however the theme is something everyone can relate to. It’s honestly very Motivating. I’m very glad I stopped in.

Going to this museum was awesome, the building layout is super interesting and fun to go through. My favorite exibit was Pinkest Hue, it was so powerful and beautiful to me. It was so cool to have Terry Joshua there to talk to about the exibit as well, and it says a lot about the museum that they are able to find and host such talented artists. Highly recommend!

An awesome architecture! People there are super friendly and they have some quality contemporary arts.

Magnificent volcanic glass looking building, gorgeous and terrifying "Judys hand" by Tony Tasset and "Blue Mao" by Andy Warhol those were only three things my eyes could catch. I spent more time in their gift shop then I did in entire museum. I feel sorry for my blindness but these guys left me a little bit disappointed.

Though it was much smaller inside than I had expected, the Museum of Contemporary Art is worth a visit.The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and passionate about their work. The exhibits are a mixture of fun, informative, and powerful.Admission is free, making it all the more worthwhile to go visit. Leave an hour or so to get through the entire museum, though it will likely take less time than that.Also check out the cool architecture of the building and the pieces outside. Great gift shop too!

This building had very unique architecture, interesting artwork, and its free admission. Had a wonderful time being inspired at the museum today!

Margaret Kilgallen exhibition currently on view, an in-depth and world-class show worth traveling for. Nice facilities and friendly staff. Several off-site parking options less than a block away. Free to the public!

Only thing I wish they had more parking, but I understand there are a lot of people that use busses and walk, however I was still hard to find parking. Other than that the exhibits were larger than life! A one of a kind experience. I love how they have the little "hands on room" where people (especially the childrencan sit and draw the still life in the middle of the room, or whatever else they want. My favorite piece was where you leave an article of clothing or anything on you and it gets sewn into the thread from the wall connecting everyone! GENIUS!

Contemporary building featuring an variety of exhibits of contemporary art. Check out the learning lab for a hands-on experience.

Nice architecture. But exhibits are limited. Some are also demonstrated in nearby museum. Parking is difficult.

Great building. Superb staff. Interesting art. Its very specific, featuring small exhibitions. So dont go expecting a greatest hits of modern art. Thats more at the main museum.

Great collection of pieces, had a great experience overall. Didnt feel over crowded like you would in most art museums, able to admire and take it all in at your own pace.

Admission is free. It looks magnificent outside, but inside is pretty small and has few art pieces/interactive experiences. I saw more staff and stairs than art pieces. It is the worst contemporary art museum I have ever seen. Although it was Saturday afternoon, it was quite empty. It lacks the spirit of a museum... I would choose to pay for a satisfactory museum experience.

My trip to MOCA happened earlier this year during the month of June 2018. As soon as I entered the museum, I was welcomed by their staff and I was given a brief introduction to the museum. Then, I started to explore the museum on my own. As a sound engineer, I had a lot of fun using the Moog Mother-32, semi-modular analog synthesizer, and trying out Tibetan Hand Bell, Singing Bowl, Tingsha Cymbals, Conch Shell. New York-based artist Tauba Auerbachs paintings and glass sculpture were exhibited during my visit. The museum introduces new exhibitions three times a year. The whole museum can be covered under 30-45 minutes. Its a small and beautiful museum with two floors of exhibits. Its a fun activity to do in Cleveland.

I cant tell you how much I love this place I go here with my best friend for silent discos and they are always on point. There is super friendly the music is always chill the artwork that they have whatever season it is is amazing I highly recommend this place

I was really excited to check out MOMA...I waited until the first Saturday of September (the first Saturday of every month is free sponsored by PNC). Anyway I was very disappointed there are very few exhibits in the museum and many of them seem more like community projects (which is great but not what I was expecting). Cleveland has such a great art museum I guess I was hoping for more from MOMA. I would recommend going over to CMA instead. Unless youre really in to modern art

Cant belive how big it was. We could have spent 2 days there. Looking at the art. All the people working there were very knowledgeable and always had fun facts to share with us.Just a reminder... No back packs. Kids must be close by.You can take photos just no flash.I would go back and spend more Time there

What a big disappointment! I had so much expectation to see cool contemporary arts but literally there was only 5-6 art pieces and that’s it! I was shocked! What a waste of such a great building. Thankfully, I did not pay for admission! First Saturday of every month admission is free.

I saw Mark Mothersbaughs exhibition there. It was free admission for the museum and the concert area just outside the building, which has a very interesting architecture. Id definitely recommend anyone to check it out.

Absolutely beautiful contemporary art museum. Really liked the exhibition, and the museum used every level getting us to interact with the work.
