LACMA Names Ressler Family Wing and Appoints Willow Bay as Board Co-Chair Ahead of April Opening
On February 5, 2026, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced that the south wing of the David Geffen Galleries will be named the Ressler Family Wing in recognition of Jami Gertz and Tony Ressler’s leading support of the Building LACMA campaign. Longtime trustee Willow Bay was named co-chair of the board of trustees alongside Ressler. The announcements precede the opening of the David Geffen Galleries in April.
The Signal
The moves highlight donor commitments and board continuity during LACMA’s capital expansion. For curators and collectors, the Ressler Family Wing naming and Bay’s elevated role indicate sustained institutional focus on major building projects that may shape future acquisition priorities and exhibition scale in Los Angeles.
