Voice of The People : MOCA Jacksonville | Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville

Voice of the People is a literacy-based educational arts initiative that introduces children to the process of viewing and interpreting contemporary art through multi-disciplinary techniques. Voice of the People builds on the child’s observation and response to art in the process of construction meaning from art. Critical thinking, verbal, and written skills are utilized to ultimately create fully produced audio responses for select pieces of works from the museum’s permanent collection and featured exhibitions which are then shared with all visitors of the museum.
