The iMOCA vacated the Murphy Art Center in late 2016. It continued to offer exhibits in The Alexander Hotel, Cat Head Press in the Englewood neighborhood, Indiana Landmarks, and the Hoosier Salon. In 2018, it announced that it would open a permanent museum in summer 2019 in 2,300 square feet (210 m²) of the old Ford assembly plant at 1301 E. Washington Street on the city's near east side.^[2] However, in January 2019 it cancelled plans for a permanent location and stated that it would again be a "museum without walls", with pop-up exhibits at various locations.^[3]

Indianapolis Contemporary was the only Indianapolis institution entirely dedicated to showcasing contemporary artists.

Since 2003, iMOCA had presented more than 40 exhibitions featuring the work of more than 75 local, regional, and international artists despite a modest exhibition budget. The museum had partnerships with other organizations such as the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Indianapolis Public Library.
