MOCA L.I.GHTS 2026 

In keeping with the endless evolution of this signature event, PAC is excited to share what will make this 7th year a little extra special. This year we will all see the 250th anniversary of our country's independence - a quarter millennium of national narrative, economic growth, societal change, cultural evolution, technological innovation, scientific discovery, and so much more. As this time has marched on, the arts too have welcomed a progression of human expression - from pigment and chisel, to printing press and camera, to electricity, projection, and immersive light - which has guided our collective conscience through centuries of prosperity and crisis in equal measure.

In celebration of where our work has come from and where it will go next, MoCA L.l.ghts 2026 Antiquity to Innovation will highlight the technologies that are ushering artists into this new quarter millennium that we're embarking on while honoring the history of advancements from which they were created.

In keeping with honoring our past while looking towards our future, we want to first thank each and every one of you who have made it possible for MoCA L.l.ghts to see its 7th year. From modest beginnings born out of an effort to safely bring the arts to our community in 2020, this event has been able to take on a life
