The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) announces the date and honorees of its 2017 Art+Film Gala. On Saturday, November 4, notables from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries will gather at LACMA to honor artist Mark Bradford and filmmaker George Lucas.
Now in its seventh year, the 2017 Art+Film Gala will be co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who continue to champion the museum’s film initiatives.
Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go toward underwriting LACMA’s initiative to make film more central to the museum’s curatorial programming, while also funding LACMA’s broader mission. This includes exhibitions, acquisitions, and educational programming, in addition to screenings that explore the intersection of art and film.
