Fancy going together?
Museum of Children's Art [MOCHA] in Oakland's lower level of City Center hosts children doing art activity at the venue through open studio sessions, summer camps featuring themes like Bold Builders for 3D art exploration, and day-off programs with painting and designing. The museum draws on three decades of arts education rooted in Oakland since 1988, with teaching artists leading hands-on visual and poetry lessons at local elementary schools and high schools. Current exhibitions showcase student artwork, including the Community Futures School exhibition featuring Afrofuturist work by Castlemont High School students imagining solutions for Oakland in 2045. Families receiving state benefits—EBT, WIC, or Medi-Cal—qualify for reduced admission through the Museums for All initiative. The venue sits steps from 12th Street BART and nearby parking at Ace Parking Garage. Details and hours are published on mocha.org.
Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 1st & 3rd Saturdays: 10:00am to 2:00pm
