The Virginia MOCA Art + Design Convening brings together artists, designers, architects, and creative practitioners for a full day of featured conversations, concurrent breakout sessions, and opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate local creative work. Inspired by Seamless: Art and Design and the opening of Virginia MOCA’s new home, this is a day built around one idea: what happens when creative disciplines stop working in isolation and start working together.

This year’s convening features a conversation with Andy Howell and Eric Haze, both exhibiting artists in Seamless: Art and Design, in conversation with Virgina MOCA Senior Curator Heather Hakimzadeh.
