Overview
- The party will take place inside the new David Geffen Galleries immediately after the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026.
- LACMA plans to open the galleries to the public in April 2026, so the event will use the space before its public debut.
- The Peter Zumthor–designed complex is a roughly $750 million, 110,000-square-foot home for LACMA’s permanent collection.
- The move follows years of hosting in a custom venue by Beverly Hills’ Wallis Annenberg Center after earlier stints at Morton’s and Sunset Tower.
- Vanity Fair’s new global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, is credited with steering the change, with further event details promised in coming months.
