The Gucci-backed fundraiser marks the final Art+Film event before LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries open in April 2026.

Overview

  • The event will be co-chaired by Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, with Gucci returning as presenting sponsor.
  • Gucci’s new artistic director, Demna, will make his debut at the gala.
  • Proceeds will fund film programming, exhibitions, acquisitions and education at LACMA, after last year’s event raised $6.4 million.
