Started in 1971, the mission of the Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts (MOCA) is to promote the value of arts and culture throughout communities in the City and County of Honolulu.  As the liaison between the Mayor and the Commission on Culture and the Arts, MOCA's objectives are to attain pre-eminence in culture and the arts; to perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritages of all its people; to promote a community environment, which provides equal and abundant opportunity for exposure to culture and the arts in all its forms; and to encourage and provide equal opportunity for the development of culture and the artistic talents of the people of Honolulu.        MOCA continually strives to ensure the availability of a wide range of high-quality artistic experiences and to promote O'ahu as a cultural destination.  Guided by the belief and affirmation of cultural self-determination, MOCA works as a partner and catalyst for increasing opportunities, awareness  and involvement in cultural activities for the benefit of all.  In this capacity, MOCA administers the Art in City Buildings Program, Culture and Arts Programs and a Collaborative Arts Program.
