Coming Soon! MoCA Westport and the Westport Public Art Collections Committee announce Paul Camacho: El Ritmo y La Unidad (Rhythm and Unity), a new exhibition featuring selected works by Paul Camacho (1929-1989) primarily drawn from the Westport Public Art Collections (WestPAC), on view January 13 - February 26, 2023.

The opening reception is ticketed and open to the public, and is free for MoCA Members. Advance registration is requested. 

The exhibition was curated by Alexandra M. Thomas, an art historian, critic, curator, and PhD candidate at Yale in History of Art and African American Studies, with a certificate in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Simultaneous with El Ritmo y La Unidad, our annual high school exhibition, entitled Who Are You When You Are Dreaming, will also be on view. 

MoCA Westport thanks Wendy and Jacques Bouthillier for their generous support in funding El Ritmo y La Unidad.

Join us for our Cocktails and Conversations series on Thursday evenings, focused on delivering engaging discussions relevant to the current exhibition. Arrive early to purchase a drink or cocktail of your choice. Free for MoCA members; $10 for non-members. Advance registration requested.
