The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) is pleased to present its annual juried exhibition, New Waves 2014. 239 artists from across Virginia submitted work and proved, yet again, that the Commonwealth contains a rich and vast array of artistic talent. This exciting exhibition demonstrates the diversity of materials and approaches that are used in contemporary art today.
About the juror: Charles L. Moffett joined Sotheby’s in 2013 after spending two years working for an art advisory group with offices in Los Angeles and New York. He graduated from Occidental College with a degree in Art History in 2007 and received his Master’s Degree in Curatorial Practice from California College of the Arts in 2011.
