LACMA Art+Film Gala 2025 – Exclusive Los Angeles Cultural Celebration

The LACMA Art+Film Gala 2025 promises to be an evening suffused with artistry, cinema, and star-studded glamour. This year’s edition shines a spotlight on two luminaries who have significantly shaped visual culture.

Honoring Pioneers of Light and Storytelling

On November 1, 2025, the gala will pay tribute to Mary Corse, whose six-decade career transforms light and perception into immersive canvases, and Ryan Coogler, the visionary filmmaker behind films like Black Panther and Sinners. The event is set to reaffirm LACMA’s commitment to creativity in both art and film.

A Gala Steeped in Elegance and Influence

Co-chairs Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio return to helm this night of exalted culture, as the presenting sponsor Gucci continues its enduring partnership. Guests will gather on the museum’s campus beside the striking new David Geffen Galleries, designed by Peter Zumthor, a building that already shapes the future of LACMA even before its full opening in 2026.

Fashion, Film, and High Art in Harmony

Each year, the gala unites contemporary art, cinema luminaries, avant-garde fashion, and creative directors under one roof. Past honours have included artist Simone Leigh and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, and the 2024 gathering achieved a record fundraising total exceeding $6.4 million to support LACMA’s public programs and film initiatives. Expect this 2025 celebration to match, if not surpass, that standard of cultural prestige.

Why This Gala Matters Beyond the Red Carpet

Besides its opulent appeal, the gala raises critical funds for LACMA’s exhibitions, acquisitions, educational programs, and efforts to place film more centrally in its curatorial vision. It is as much about advancing art infrastructure and storytelling as about enjoying a radiant night of celebrity and couture.
