MOCA is committed to animating and interpreting our exhibitions through workshops, tours, and programmes. Our Learning team is made up of artists and educators who strive to ensure contemporary art is fun, engaging and accessible. We welcome you to join us to learn and create!
Learn more about all of our community offerings designed with the community in mind. These programmes are low-cost or free and welcome visitors of all ages. MOCA Learning offers a range of workshops, drop-in tours and events that bring people together to ask questions, discuss and make something new.
Visit MOCA with your class and discover contemporary art! Learn, discuss, and engage with either guided or self-guided tours, or book a studio session for a hands-on art-making experience. Our educational programs introduce students to viewing and discussing art, encouraging questions and conversations. MOCA’s exhibitions change twice a year, offering educators the unique opportunity to explore new tours each semester.
MOCA’s educational visits are designed for elementary, secondary, and post-secondary students as well as for community groups.
MOCA’s Youth Council provides young artistic professionals the opportunity to learn, build skills, and create events for their peers. This programme runs each fall and spring semester, and welcomes teens aged 15-19 into the museum. MOCA’s Creative Youth fosters the next generation of creatives, educators and leaders.

MOCA’s home at 158 Sterling Road is a heritage building! It’s official name is the Tower Automotive Building. Can you guess what this building used to be before it was converted into a museum?
When it was built in 1919, the Tower Automotive Building was one of the tallest buildings in Toronto. What do you think is the tallest building in Toronto today?
