MoCA L.I.ghts, a signature event of the Patchogue Arts Council, is dedicated to transforming the Village of Patchogue into an immersive open-air museum and premier arts destination. Our mission is to pioneer Long Island’s first and foremost immersive art experience, showcasing innovative projected artworks and site-specific media works created by local, national, and international artists. Through specialized projection mapping techniques, animation, and digital media, MoCA L.I.ghts offers a unique platform that transcends traditional art settings, making art accessible to all through free, multi-dimensional exhibitions on foot, by car, and online.

Driven by our commitment to artistic innovation, MoCA L.I.ghts advocates for artists working in digital media, providing them with unprecedented opportunities to exhibit their work, engage with diverse audiences, and expand their creative horizons. We aim to foster a community where creativity flourishes, bridging gaps between traditional and digital art forms through education programs that empower emerging and established artists alike.

MoCA L.I.ghts stands as the region’s premier projection festival and the second largest in New York, featuring over eight distinct locations and the contributions of 200+ artists. By celebrating the transformative power of light and projection, MoCA L.I.ghts not only enriches cultural life but also redefines the art experience, ensuring that art is not merely observed but deeply experienced and understood by all.
