Madison Museum of Contemporary Art

The roots of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art begin in 1901 with the formation of the Madison Art Association. Several name and location changes later, it celebrates its 125th birthday with the kind of party that makes sense for a museum: a reception for new exhibitions. Opening June 4 is “Extended Play: A-Side,” exploring works by post-war American abstract artists, plus recently opened exhibitions featuring David R. Harper and Gelsy Verna. Music will be provided by Chicago DJ FINDING IJEOMA. Note: Open to museum members at 5 p.m

media release: Thursday, June 4 • Member Preview 5–6 PM • Public Reception 6–9 PM • Museum Wide • Free Admission

Celebrate MMoCA’s 125-year legacy of free access to cutting-edge modern and contemporary art in Madison at our Anniversary Party and Spring Opening Celebration!

Be among the first to experience the groundbreaking abstract artwork in Extended Play: A-Side and learn more about its direct connection to Madison.

Grab a slice of cake (with 125 candles!) in the Rooftop Lounge, then wander through the other exhibitions on view: David R. Harper: Good Morning Sweetheart and Gelsy Verna: Mother, Father, Please Help Me.

The party keeps going with FINDING IJEOMA onsite to offer a thoughtfully curated DJ set, providing impeccable energy and global sounds. Watch the sunset as the festivities spill outside onto the recently renovated Rooftop Sculpture Garden, or get lost in the exhibitions.
