*A FEW REMARKS CONCERNING NUDITY AT MOCA EVENTS
• One female model is scheduled to appear nude. While others of all sexes (seriously; we've had more than two!) are welcome to shed their clothes, NOBODY will be pressed to do so. At these events, the majority keep their clothes on.
• At MOCA, we INSIST that all guests with photo devices respect the wishes of others concerning photos. NO PICTURES MEANS NO PICTURES! (And "Yes, you may take a photo," does NOT necessarily mean "You may post that photo on the Internet.")
• And particularly this night, when the other galleries are open, we insist that the partly or completely disrobed respect MOCA's neighbors. We will have something to screen the view through the front window; do NOT go around that screen less than fully dressed. And remember that the bathrooms are in the Sea Catch Restaurant, where you must be fully dressed. If you feel inspired to strip, you are urged to think about visiting them first; a robe, a towel, gym shorts, a toga, body paint ARE NOT SUFFICIENT!
