MOCA was founded as the anti-LACMA, in part because LACMA was very old-line (read: Christian) Los Angeles. MOCA was the upstart competition...this would be a real loss for cultural dialogue in the arts in the city!

Noooooooo! So much of what I loved about MOCA is that they were kind of the anti-LACMA. LACMA is corporate, and MOCA's always been more innovative and cutting edge (due, of course, in large part to the nature of their art). Plus, they ran a great membership program.

bailout is quickly becoming one of the top words of 2008, right below subprime.
