LACMA Announces 2025 Art+Film Gala Honoring Mary Corse

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) will host its 14th Art+Film Gala on Saturday, November 1, honoring two groundbreaking creatives whose work has reshaped their respective fields: pioneering artist Mary Corse and visionary filmmaker Ryan Coogler.

LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, longtime champions of the museum’s film initiatives, return as 2025 Art+Film Gala Co-Chairs. Gucci continues its invaluable support as the Presenting Sponsor, a role it has held since the gala’s inception in 2011. 

Past honorees of the Art+Film Gala include artists Simone Leigh, Judy Baca, Helen Pashgian, Kehinde Wiley, Amy Sherald, Betye Saar, Catherine Opie, Mark Bradford, Robert Irwin, James Turrell, Barbara Kruger, David Hockney, Ed Ruscha, and John Baldessari, and filmmakers Baz Luhrmann, David Fincher, Park Chan-wook, Steven Spielberg, Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro, George Lucas, Kathryn Bigelow, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, and Clint Eastwood.

Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go toward underwriting LACMA’s initiative to make film more central to the museum’s curatorial programming, while also funding LACMA’s broader mission. This includes exhibitions, acquisitions, and educational programming, in addition to screenings that explore the intersection of art and film.
