HAPPY HOUSE, ForYourArt, and Opening Ceremony celebrate New MOCA Exhibition

From Happy House co-founder Jessica Trent

I come from a beautiful, small town in Virginia and through all my work, worldly travels and life experiences which have brought me to the big city, I am still thankfully in awe of what we can experience in life each day. I eschew jaded perceptions of this lovely city. There is a real energy and renaissance happening in all the creative industries here, which like many of you, I find incredibly exciting and inspiring.

Last Sunday Happy House at MOCA (the support council I co-chair along with Karyn Kohl and Ezra Woods) organized a private opening reception co-hosted by ForYourArt and visionary retailer Opening Ceremony for MOCA’s Collecting History: Highlighting Recent Acquisitions.

A stolen moment snapped by dear Shawn at the private MOCA opening party that my MOCA support council Happy House hosted with FYA and Opening Ceremony. More to follow. Collecting History is a magnificent exhibition consisting of the works of over 60 contemporary artists. I would love a wall like this in my home.
