About the MOCA building:
The MOCA building has always stood above, the tallest in Toronto when it was built in 1919, a factory that produced aluminium products during World War II. When it was built, a hundred years ago, designer John W. Woodman pioneered a new approach called concrete flat slab architecture. Each floor is a slab of reinforced concrete and supported by the columns that make the building so iconic.

About the Akin Studio Program at MOCA:
a unique and publicly open partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada to provide affordable studio space to more than 30 visual artists and cultural practitioners in the Museum's new home on Sterling Road through the Akin Studio Program. The Program is open to student, emerging and professional art practitioners, curators and writers living in Toronto. The inaugural cohort of the Program started their studio residency in the Museum in September 2018. Selected artists have moved their studio into the Museum for a term of one year and will share their practices with the Museum’s visitors through programs such as open studio events.
