The MOCA Apprenticeship Program is a wonderful opportunity for 12 high school students each year to learn
about contemporary art, MOCA, and related careers in the arts. An invaluable initial step in pursuing careers
in the arts, apprentices gain hands-on work experience, while they meet and work with a wide variety of
artists and museum professionals.
Program Activities
The MOCA Apprenticeship Program includes weekly meetings throughout the school year, as well
as additional sessions for special projects. Initial meetings provide an introduction to the
museum, behind-the-scenes operations, and museum staff. Subsequent sessions focus on current
exhibitions, college and career preparation, and other topics and projects chosen by the apprentices.
During their time at MOCA, apprentices may also work directly with MOCA staff in various departments
on specific projects and events. This aspect of the apprenticeship introduces participants to a full
range of museum activities and issues. Apprentices also receive a small stipend for their efforts.
Recruitment and Contact Information
Recruitment for the MOCA Apprenticeship Program begins in the spring, prior to each school
year. Although application packets are sent primarily to selected high-school teachers who
nominate candidates for the program, motivated students who are committed to learning about
the arts are encouraged to apply.
