Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art
Virginia MOCA’s (Museum of Contemporary Art) definition of contemporary art is the “product and reflection of the culture in which we live.” That means this museum isn’t carrying pieces from old, dead artists. Instead, you can enjoy intricate pieces from living artists! Past exhibits include art made from actual NASA images, interactive digital body paint, and even discarded trash to create a beautiful collage.
