The evening, the tables, the museum, the stay: everything we are asked about the LACMA Art+Film Gala, with candid answers — including when the answer is no.

The LACMA Art+Film Gala is the benefit evening of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, founded in 2011; the 15th edition will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, on the Wilshire Boulevard campus. Tables and seats are offered by the museum itself, for the benefit of its programmes: TGZ sells none. The museum, for its part, is open to the public every day except Wednesday, with its new David Geffen Galleries since spring 2026. What can be composed is the stay in Los Angeles around it: a hotel in Beverly Hills or West Hollywood, dinners, a chauffeur, a stylist, a museum visit — on a tailored quote.
The evening
The LACMA Art+Film Gala is held each autumn by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, for the benefit of its programmes — in particular the place it gives to film, as well as its exhibitions, acquisitions and education programmes. Each edition honours an artist and a filmmaker. The 15th will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
The tables
The museum itself offers tables of eight or ten covers depending on the category, individual seats, and receives contributions without attendance. It sets the terms and decides on acceptance. TGZ Conciergerie, an independent house, sells, resells or books none. Our guide How Do LACMA Art+Film Gala Tables Work? explains how it really works.
The museum
The museum is open to the public every day except Wednesday, with an admission ticket. Since spring 2026, its permanent collections have been shown in the David Geffen Galleries, a building that spans Wilshire Boulevard. The Wilshire/Fairfax metro station has stood opposite since May 2026.
The stay
The stay is composed around the evening: a suite in Beverly Hills or West Hollywood, tables held at the right hours, a chauffeur, a stylist, the museum visit. Our guide Where to Stay for the LACMA Art+Film Gala compares the addresses, and our guide LACMA Art+Film Gala Dress Code prepares the looks.
