MUSEUM OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA

Thank you for your belief in our mission as a contemporary art museum, celebrating Black cultures, igniting challenging conversations, and inspiring learning through the global lens of the African Diaspora.

MoAD significantly advances it's vision to become the leading contemporary art museum dedicated to the art and artists of the African Diaspora with a major gift from Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock and recent funding from the California Natural Resources Agency’s Museum Grants Program.

‍The Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) is pleased to announce our two new Poets-in-Residence for Fall 2023. Join us in welcoming: Thea Matthews and Ashia Ajani. The four-month residency runs from September-December, and welcomes two writers to the Museum to immerse themselves in the current exhibitions and pursue their own writing projects in response to the art on view.

Thank you to all of our guests, members, and supporters for helping to make MoAD possible and thank you to Michael Wayne Turner III and the entire Hat Matter: Thoughts of a Black Mad Hatter production crew for creating such a riveting and inspiring event.

MoAD's Emerging Artists Program (EAP) is excited to announce our 2023-24 cohort of artists. Thank you to all the artists who applied.
