LACMA Art+Film Gala Raises Record $6.5 Million Honoring Mary Corse and Ryan Coogler
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosted its 14th annual Art+Film Gala on November 1, 2025. The event welcomed nearly 600 guests from art, film, fashion and entertainment. It raised nearly $6.5 million, a new record, to support LACMA's film programming and broader mission. Co-chaired by trustee Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, the gala featured a performance by Doja Cat and was presented by Gucci.
The Signal
The record total reflects LACMA's sustained push to place film at the center of its curatorial activities. Collectors and curators will note the museum's consistent ability to leverage high-profile co-chairs and long-term sponsors such as Gucci, which has backed the event since 2011, to fund interdisciplinary initiatives in Los Angeles.
