MoHA Family and Friends

The term MoHA Family and Friends is used to describe the following groups below according to their relationship to MoHA:

MoHA Family

MoHA Family is any program, fiscally sponsored project, or informal organization that is physically located at and receiving substantial support from MoHA.

These are organizations that have autonomy of decisions and oversight but also compliment the whole and make up the broad community of MoHA.

MoHA Programs

MoHA Programs are programs that are directly managed by MoHA Staff.

Welcome to my Homepage

An international online residency program that offers artists financial and technical support to explore the internet as a site for creative production. Welcome to my Homepage was founded in 2014 and has since hosted over 65 artists from across the World Wide Web.

Collaborative Art and Technology Situation (CATS+)

The Collaborative Art + Technology Situation (CATS+) is a residency and community program that encourages thoughtful, critical, creative engagement with technology. The CATS+ Residency Program groups cohorts of artists and tech wizards to learn together, make new projects, and share their process. We host collaborations, artist-led workshops, hangouts, public showcases, and a wiki to remove the mystery from tech and make magic together.

Fantastic Arcade

An annual festival which celebrates, amplifies, and supports the unique and underrepresented in indie video games and play. Fantastic Arcade operates as a community year-round, hosting quarterly game jams, monthly online and physical meetups, an active Discord server and other ongoing digital programs.

Games Y’all

Games Y’all is a casual meetup hosted by Fantastic Arcade for indie devs, digital artists, and games fans held every month. Come play games, hang out, meet friends, and learn how to share your work at future meetups.

Peanut

“Peanut” is a mobile platform to use practices of DIY community-building to create space shaped to serve the needs of hyperlocal communities. To create this space, a 90s city bus, “Peanut,” has been retrofitted to become an accessible and approachable hub for transportation between communities as well as a physical space to support conversations, gatherings and performances taking place directly within the neighborhoods Peanut seeks to serve. Because DIY platforms are built upon grassroots relationship-building, community outreach is as integral to our process as the performance itself. Peanut is an artist and community-driven collaboration that places arts and community in direct contact in order to celebrate the voices of under-resourced communities.

More programs at MoHA

These programs are fiscally sponsored by and physically located at MoHA.

The Mall

The Mall is a small art gallery in Austin, TX. We help artists make a living, with a particular interest in uplifting women artists, queer artists, and artists of color whose voices are more often marginalized, and to create an exciting and beautiful platform and context for their work. A majority of our gallery features works from Austin artists, and is exemplary of the unique culture of Austin. Beyond a space for exhibition, The Mall also actively facilitates education and community via four workshops annually, and the creation of new art via commissions of editioned work.

Cage Match Project

CMP is a gallery that lives in an industrial caged-trailer. This weathered and rusted container resides in a gravel parking lot in Austin, Texas where it is under constant exposure to the elements and 24-hour public viewership. Its current curator is Ariel René Jackson, a multidisciplinary artist. Cage Match Project was developed by Ryan Hawk, a Houston based artist
