Summer Exhibition: Guided Tours For Women Pulling At The Threads Of Social Discourse On View Through October 2, 2022 

Learn More

Book Your Free Tour

Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse is a collaboration with The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery) and the Fiber Artists Miami Association (FAMA). This extremely timely exhibition explores how female artists, utilizing textiles as their medium, subvert the social expectation of crafting by lambasting this soft medium with political and social awareness. 

Free docent-led tours available on Wednesdays - Sundays. Advance registration requested; book your tour now.

We're open late on Thursdays! Join us for Happy Hour from 5 - 7 PM, explore the exhibition, and try a Paint & Sip Open Art Studio class. Our Thursday Cocktails & Conversation events will return in September. 

MoCA Westport is pleased to partner with Bank of America’s Museums on Us, offering free admission to MoCA Westport the first weekend of every month.

Also on view through October 2, 2022: The 2002 High School Congressional Art Competition featuring selected works by regional high school students.
