THE FUTURE FOCUS CAMPAIGN

Since its founding in 1976, the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago has become the world’s premier academic art museum dedicated to photography. Housing a notable collection of over 16,500 works, the MoCP is known for its profound exhibitions that explore the issues that define our time, as well as providing free educational programs to all.

Today, the MoCP has reached a pivotal moment in its growth as an institution and is poised for a reimagined home. Through the Future Focus Campaign, $25M is being raised to completely renovate the museum and invest in the leadership of the MoCP’s people. When the renovation is complete, the MoCP will be a cornerstone of Columbia’s campus and an indispensable cultural resource for the college and Chicago.

Through the generosity of the Lannan Foundation, a distinguished leader in supporting the arts, they will match—dollar for dollar—the first $7M in funds raised to bring the reimagined MoCP to reality.
