Welcome to the Eleventh Year of the MOCAZINE! The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, is delighted to work with the talented young people of our community to create an arts and culture magazine by and for teens. The goal of the MOCAZINE is to acquaint teens with career opportunities in the fields of art and communications, as well as introduce teens to the world of contemporary art. All of the articles in the MOCAZINE are written by teens. This publication is meant to serve as a teaching tool, and showcase the hard work and efforts of the actively involved teens that bring fresh energy to MOCA. The MOCAZINE enables teens to make connections with MOCA’s exhibitions, and with one another. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments at LKEELER@mocanomi.org . Looking forward, Lark Keeler Interim Curator of Education
