Since the expiration of the contract between the foundation and the department in 2007, the department has partnered with the Taipei Culture Foundation to cover the operating costs. They also hired art critic and former curator of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and the Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Shih Jui-jen, to be the MOCA's curator.
2007 年底委任合約屆滿後，改由文化局與企業籌組的財團法人台北市文化基金會接棒經營，並由曾任職於市立美術館及關渡美術館的藝評家石瑞仁出任館長。
