LACMA Art+Film Gala

The LACMA Art+Film Gala is an annual event that brings together art enthusiasts, filmmakers, and philanthropists in support of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the largest art museum in the western United States. The gala, which was inaugurated in 2011, is known for its entertainment by international artists and its spirit of experimentation, reflecting LACMA's work with artists, technologists, and thought leaders, as well as its regional, national, and global partnerships.

The gala serves as a platform for LACMA to raise funds for its initiatives, with proceeds going towards making film more central to the museum's curatorial programming. This includes exhibitions, acquisitions, and educational programming, as well as screenings that explore the intersection of art and film. The event also supports LACMA's broader mission of engaging new audiences and sharing collections and programs.

The gala has become a significant event in the cultural calendar of Los Angeles, attracting high-profile attendees from the worlds of art, film, and entertainment. The evening typically includes a cocktail reception, sit-down dinner, and live auction, bringing together some of the museum's most dedicated supporters and celebrating the museum's achievements.

Over the years, the LACMA Art+Film Gala has featured a diverse range of entertainment, from live music performances to film screenings and art installations. The event has also served as a platform for LACMA to announce new initiatives and partnerships, further cementing its reputation as a leading cultural institution in the United States.
