Environmental Council

On October 14, 2020, The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) announced the creation of an Environmental Council, the first for a major art museum in the United States. The Council is focused on climate, conservation, and environmental justice in furtherance of the museum’s mission. The museum has implemented important initiatives made possible by the Council, including financial commitments and expertise to work toward institution-wide carbon negativity, carbon-free energy, environmentally-focused museum-quality exhibitions, educational programming, related artist support, and reductions in emissions and consumption. MOCA publicly shares the Council’s efforts and progress as a platform for public dialogue and engagement on this urgent topic. Visit here to read more about the Environmental Council's founding.
