The Virginia MOCA Boardwalk Art Show is a renowned outdoor art show held annually along the Virginia Beach boardwalk. As one of the longest-running art shows on the East Coast, it celebrates creativity by featuring exceptional works from artists across the country. The show has deep roots in the community, as Virginia MOCA itself grew out of this cherished event. What began as a local art show in 1952 has since evolved into the contemporary art museum known today, reflecting its dedication to inspiring and connecting through art.
