The High Museum of Art has partnered with The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) to host an exhibition highlighting selected paintings and works of paper from the MOCA GA permanent collection. This exhibition is comprised of 32 works by 22 Georgia artists, all from the collection of MOCA GA.
