Arlington Arts Centre

The Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (MOCA Arlington) is a non-collecting contemporary art museum and visual arts center in the Virginia Square neighborhood of Arlington County, Virginia, established in 1974. Housed since 1976 in the historic Maury School (formerly the Clarendon School), it presents artwork by regional artists in the Mid-Atlantic. The museum hosts exhibitions, educational programs and subsidized studio spaces, and seeks to increase awareness, appreciation of, and involvement in the visual arts in Arlington County and the Washington metropolitan area. At 17,000 square feet, the facility includes nine exhibition galleries, working studios for twelve artists and two classrooms, and is one of the largest non-federal venues for contemporary art in the Capital Region. Formerly the Arlington Arts Center (AAC), the center rebranded as MOCA Arlington in September 2022.
