[1] MoCCA sponsored events ranging from book openings to educational programs in New York City schools, and hosted classes, workshops and lectures.

On July 9, 2012, MoCCA announced that it would be closing its physical location, effective immediately, due to fundraising difficulties.

It is New York's largest independent comics showcase,[citation needed] featuring hundreds of creators and publishers on the main floor, typically accompanied with additional rooms devoted to educational panel discussions, slide shows, and interviews.

From 2002 to 2012, the museum presented an award at MoCCA Fest to an artist whose outstanding work elevated the comic art form.

It featured appearances by MoCCA President Ellen Abramowitz and then-Director Karl Erickson, and was subsequently reprinted in Archie: A Celebration of America's Favorite Teenagers by Craig Yoe (IDW, 2011).
