MOCA’s 20th Birthday Party
Saturday 29 July 12pm-11pm

MOCA is turning 20 and we want to celebrate with you, 90’s style. It’s going to be all that.

FEATURING:

FREE art-making activities for families from 12pm-3pm including the opportunity to make your own slap bracelets, collages, or help build the interactive ‘Rave Room’! Plus, get your photo taken in our Gameboy Photo Booth!

FREE 90’s Double-Feature Film Screening in The Great Hall
Special thanks to our community partner The Loft Cinemas! 

3pm – Reality Bites
After college, Lelaina (Winona Ryder) films a documentary about herself and friends as they flounder in their attempts to forge relationships and begin careers. Vickie (Janeane Garofalo) works retail, has an endless string of one-night stands and awaits the results of her HIV test. Sammy (Steve Zahn) tries to come out to his parents. Lelaina gets involved with yuppie Michael (Ben Stiller) while maintaining a love-hate relationship with Troy (Ethan Hawke), who’s undergoing an existential crisis.

5pm – Singles
In Seattle during the era of grunge music, the lives and relationships of a group of young people, all living in the same apartment building, go through a period of flux. Among them are waitress and aspiring architect Janet (Bridget Fonda), who finds herself obsessed with bad boy musician Cliff (Matt Dillon); Linda (Kyra Sedgwick), an emotionally fragile environmentalist on the look-out for love; and Steve (Campbell Scott), a quintessential nice guy who studies traffic patterns.
