The Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, also known as the Indy MOCA or iMOCA, features exhibitions of contemporary art. Currently the museum has a new show every two months, presenting two shows of local artists, two shows of regional artists, and two shows of national artists each year.

Founded in 2001 as a “museum without walls,” iMOCA has mounted exhibitions around the city. In 2004, the museum opened as a gallery in the historic Emelie Building in the Indiana Avenue Cultural District. In December 2009, iMOCA moved to a larger space in the Murphy Art Center in the Fountain Square Arts District. In 2014 the iMOCA opened a second gallery space in The Alexander Hotel at CityWay.

iMOCA is the only Indianapolis museum dedicated to showcasing emerging contemporary artists. The curator showcases artists near or at the breakthrough point of their careers-artists such as Jeff Gabel.

Since 2003, iMOCA has presented more than 40 exhibitions featuring the work of more than 75 local, regional, and international artists despite a modest exhibition budget. The museum has partnerships with other organizations such as the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Indianapolis Public Library.
