Miami MoCAAD Secures $25M to Launch a Revolutionary Hub Celebrating the Global African Diaspora

We are thrilled to announce that the Miami Museum of Contemporary Art of the African Diaspora (Miami MoCAAD) has successfully raised $25,000,000 in new funding—a monumental achievement that sets the stage for revolutionizing the art landscape in Miami and beyond. As a pioneering project dedicated to celebrating and preserving the contemporary work of artists from the Global African Diaspora, Miami MoCAAD is uniquely positioned to bridge literal and figurative connections between the creative richness of the Caribbean, Africa, Africa American, and Afro-Latin communities. This significant capital infusion will provide robust support for the museum’s ambitious agenda, including its innovative artist-in-residence program and state-of-the-art technological engagements aimed at deepening visitor interaction with the creative heritage and transformative practices of the Diaspora. The funding will accelerate plans to establish Miami MoCAAD as a premier art space that not only exhibits groundbreaking artworks but also serves as a dynamic hub for global collaboration and discourse among artists, curators, and cultural practitioners. By nurturing partnerships both nationally and internationally, the museum is poised to bring global exposure to the creative influences emerging from the African Diaspora, enriching cultural dialogues across borders. Central to its mission, Miami MoCAAD will discover, commission, collect, and preserve art that challenges traditional narratives and invites fresh perspectives, ensuring that the contributions of contemporary black artists are celebrated on an international stage. As Miami continues to shine as the southern gateway to a vibrant cultural heritage, this funding milestone underscores our commitment to fostering a transformative space where art, culture, and community intersect.
