Erica Mendoza

Museum of Contemporary Art, MOCA, Jacksonville

Recent University of North Florida graduate Erica Mendoza is spending her last semester working as MOCA Jacksonville’s inaugural student artist-in-residence. A talented studio art major with a concentration in sculpture, Mendoza is creating a body of work focused on personal themes of love, loss, and healing.

Mendoza, a sculpture student in the Art and Design Department, is working in a studio space on the fifth floor of the Museum to complete a new body of work for her senior portfolio and this exhibition. She’s the first to win this highly competitive opportunity that awards access to a MOCA Jacksonville studio and exhibition space to complete a new body of work and hone skills over the course of a final semester.

MOCA Jacksonville visitors can observe Mendoza as she completes about ten pieces in less than thirteen weeks. Guests may also ask about her work and creative process, giving Mendoza crucial experience working and presenting in front of crowds.

In addition to working in the MOCA Jacksonville studio on Mondays when the Museum is closed, Mendoza will be available for visitors to see her work 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesdays or 3-9 p.m. during Downtown Art Walk on the first Wednesday of each month. She will also work in the studio occasionally on Fridays before 3 p.m.
