Give Miami Day also introduced "power hours" this year, during which various nonprofit categories will be spotlighted. MOAD falls under the 7:...00-8:00 pm EST time slot for Arts, Culture & Humanities. If MOAD receives a donation during this time, it will qualify them for a bonus donation & additional prizes! If you are able to make a donation, visit their page below where you can participate in Give Miami Day. Also, exciting news that the museum reopened as of Nov. 5 with their latest exhibition The Body Electric, a major exhibition that looks at our fraught relationship to technology, particularly the increasingly inescapable interface between our bodies and screens.
