One Spark mural returns for Throwback Thursday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It's Throwback Thursday and The Museum of Contemporary Art is celebrating by commemorating one of the biggest projects at One Spark last year.

During One Spark 2014, thousands of visitors streamed into MOCA Jacksonville to view Project Atrium: Shaun Thurston's mural of colorful crystals that symbolized the growth of the arts in Jacksonville.

Thurston (pictured) went on to win the One Spark juried art prize and donated half of his winnings to MOCA Jacksonville to sponsor Project Atrium: Angela Glajcar, on display during One Spark 2015.

Organizers at MOCA are planning several #TBT celebrations of Thurston and his work on Thursday, including pieces in the Pop-up Gallery, a Teeny Talk, and a Photo Booth background.

The museum says the term "pop-up" describes the process of transforming the space, where new works "pop-up" and appear like magic for all to experience. Throughout the festival, museum staff says one gallery features new works each day.

Tiny Tours of the Pop-up Gallery take place every day during One Spark. MOCA Jacksonville curators and educators lead 10-minute tours of specific works throughout the Museum. Those who attend Tiny Tours receive a special gift.

MOCA Jacksonville curators and educators will also be leading Teeny talks which are 10-minute talks about exhibitions. Those who attend Teeny Talks receive a special gift as well.

The MOCA Jacksonville Photo Booth will also keep with the Throwback Thursday theme. Share your pictures on social media with #MOCAisNOW!
