DISCRIPTION:
Hudson Valley MOCA, located in Peekskill, New York, is a contemporary art museum focused on thought-provoking, often experimental works that engage with social, political, and cultural themes. Founded by art collectors Livia and Marc Straus, the museum is known for its commitment to emerging and mid-career artists, often showcasing bold installations and multimedia pieces. Housed in a former industrial space, it offers an immersive environment where art confronts viewers with pressing questions and unexpected perspectives. Beyond exhibitions, Hudson Valley MOCA actively collaborates with schools and the local community through educational programs and public art initiatives. Its location in the heart of the Hudson Valley’s creative corridor helps it serve as a cultural hub, bridging contemporary art with civic dialogue. The museum's emphasis on innovation and inclusivity makes it a vital space for artistic exploration outside of New York City’s main art scene.
NOTES:
While the quality of the exhibits here can be quite high, it is a relatively small museum with a steep ticket price. We’d recommend confirming your interest in what’s currently being exhibited before visiting the museum. The images below include works by artists: Damien Hurst, Berlinde de Bruckyere among others. These were taken at a previous exhibit and are not part of a permanent collection.
