LACMA Art & Film Gala

Often regarded as the West Coast’s answer to the Met Gala, the LACMA Art+Film Gala returns to Los Angeles on November 7, 2026, for its fifteenth annual edition, bringing together some of the most influential figures in contemporary art, cinema, fashion and entertainment.

Hosted at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the prestigious black-tie celebration honours internationally acclaimed artist Vija Celmins and visionary filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, whose remarkable contributions have shaped the worlds of visual art and contemporary cinema.

Co-chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio and Eva Chow, the annual gathering has become one of Hollywood’s most anticipated social occasions, attracting an exceptional international audience of actors, filmmakers, artists, designers, cultural figures and prominent collectors.

The evening unfolds through an elegant programme of cocktails, dining and entertainment, celebrating the intersection of artistic expression, cinematic excellence and philanthropy.

For its 2026 edition, international recording artist ROSÉ joins the celebration as the evening’s musical guest, adding another dimension to an occasion recognised for bringing together leading personalities from across the creative industries.

Supported by Gucci since its inception, the LACMA Art+Film Gala continues to play an important role in advancing the museum’s artistic and cinematic initiatives.

More than an awards-season gathering, the gala represents a defining moment in Los Angeles’ cultural calendar, where Hollywood, contemporary art and international society converge for one extraordinary evening.
