Greater Toronto Art 2021 (GTA21) centres on what feels most urgent to artists today. The exhibition spans all three floors of the Museum in a range of media including drawing, sculpture, performance, painting and video. Beyond the Museum walls, the exhibition features several public artworks, digital components, a variety of public programmes and learning initiatives, and an accompanying publication. Greater Toronto Art embodies MOCA’s longterm commitment to Toronto’s artistic future. It is defined by MOCA’s pledge to artists to commission new projects that add to a local and global discourse.
