TD Community Sunday
We’re committed to making contemporary art accessible to all, which is why we’re working together with TD Bank Group to offer free admission on the Sunday of the first full weekend of every month—when both Saturday and Sunday fall within the same month.
Each TD Community Sunday welcomes visitors to visit the museum for free and participate in an all-ages drop in workshop. Create something together—no matter your age or experience!

Join us for Art Hive at MOCA, a drop-in art programme that invites the whole community to stop by and create!
Exploring a range of materials and art techniques from painting to drawing to collage, this programme will be led by visiting art therapy students that will facilitate creative expression. Participants are also welcome to bring in their works in progress and experience a creative community for inspiration and conversation about art. All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to professionals.
