“The new vision for MOCA has finally been brought to life,” said Julia Ouellette, the board's chair. “We thank Heidi for her work and wish her well.”

MOCA’s senior management team of November Paynter and Rachel Hilton will assume joint leadership as artistic director and managing director, respectively.

Paynter joined MOCA in 2017 from her position as associate director of research and programs at SALT, Istanbul and Ankara.
