- OCMA’s workforce has joined the university as employees, and the museum’s board has been dissolved.
- No money changed hands as UC Irvine assumed OCMA’s assets and expenses, according to university officials.
- Exhibitions and programs will remain separate through 2026 as Langson IMCA prepares to leave its Von Karman Avenue site and relocate to the Segerstrom facility.
- A national search is underway for an executive director to lead the newly named UC Irvine Langson Orange County Museum of Art following Heidi Zuckerman’s exit earlier this year.
