Did the vibrant colors of the Pacific Design Center ever make you wonder what artistic treasures lie within? Right here, nestled within this architectural gem, is the MOCA Pacific Design Center. It’s a vibrant hub of contemporary art, showcasing a legacy of innovation and creativity. The MOCA Pacific Design Center first burst onto the Los Angeles art scene in 2001. Its inaugural exhibition, “Superflat,” curated by Takashi Murakami, set the tone for its dynamic programming. Founded by former MOCA director Jeremy Strick, the MOCA Pacific Design Center quickly became a haven for groundbreaking exhibitions. Over the years, the MOCA Pacific Design Center hosted exhibitions by renowned artists like Catherine Opie, Jean Prouvé, and even fashion designer Rick Owens. Its location within the Pacific Design Center, on LA’s affluent West Side, offered a unique blend of art and design. One of the most memorable exhibitions was “One Day at a Time: Kahlil Joseph’s Fly Paper,” a captivating exploration of visual storytelling. Sadly, after nearly 20 years of enriching the cultural landscape, the MOCA Pacific Design Center closed its doors in February 2019. While its physical presence is gone, its legacy continues to inspire. MOCA consolidated its architecture and design program at its downtown locations, carrying forward the spirit of innovation and creativity that defined the MOCA Pacific Design Center.
