Known as much for showcasing some of the best art in Atlanta as it is for hosting some of the most fabulous A-list galas, MOCA is sophisticated and oh so chic. There always seems to be new exhibits and collections or a VIP event going on at this artistic haven. One of the things that I love most is the education and resource center for those of us who want to learn all we can about art, its history and origins. Any time I can have a learning experience while enjoying myself is a great time. Do yourself a favor and go now…right now!

Given that it is not the traditional set up for an art gallery is part of the charm of this artistic space; you are allowed to fully become one with the art pieces minus massive amounts of space and people.
