About PhilaMOCA

PhilaMOCA is a one-of-a-kind multipurpose gallery and performance space located at 531 North 12th Street, Philadelphia, inside the Finney & Son mausoleum building. Known for its underground, DIY culture, PhilaMOCA hosts film screenings, live music, visual art, and community events in an intimate setting. With seating that varies by event, the main space seats about 150 (and accommodates a similar number standing), and some events offer upper-floor or rail seating. The venue has a storied history, temporarily closing in 2019 for zoning and fire issues before reopening in July 2021. Whether you’re catching a film, a live set, or a collaborative art piece, PhilaMOCA offers a raw, immersive experience that’s distinctly Philadelphia.
