What's in a (museum's) name?

Posted by Krista Sylvester in Culture

 

The Triangle Gallery of Visual Arts will now be known as the Museum of Contemporary Art Calgary (MOCA), according to the recently appointed artistic director Jeffrey Spalding.

Spalding believes the new name, already in effect, will bring with it a new focus of collecting contemporary art and will create a new culture around the museum, which was known as Triangle Gallery for almost 25 years.

The name change is part of a bigger initiative for the gallery, which is seeking to build a partnership with the city. The gallery plans to expand their space and are trying to open a satellite space open by January.
