Hours
Due to the rising rates of COVID-19 in NYC, the MoCADA shop and gallery are currently closed.
While the MoCADA shop has been accepting online orders, this virus has recently severely impacted our team relegating many of us to work from home under quarantine. Understaffed for the time being, this has slowed down our processing for pickup, delivery and shipping orders. Any orders placed after December 19 will be delivered after January 3, 2022.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. *****
The MoCADA gallery at 80 Hanson Place is currently CLOSED.
To visit an exhibition when we reopen, please schedule an appointment after January 8, 2022. Appointments are based on an 1hr and 15-minute time slot, and are booked on a first come, first serve basis. All visitors must also present proof of vaccination for entry. Schedule an appointment, HERE.
