Deets: On Saturday, November 7, notables from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries will unite at LACMA to honor artist James Turrell and filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Celebrating its fifth year, the 2015 Art+Film Gala is co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who continue to champion the museum’s film initiatives. Sam Smith will perform at this memorable evening. Gucci once again shows its invaluable support as the presenting sponsor of the annual event.

Gala co-chair Eva Chow added, “The Art+Film Gala is now an annual highlight and brings together figures from the worlds of art, cinema, fashion, and music to support the museum. It's a real honor and my pleasure to welcome two such unique and greatly talented artists whose work moves and inspires me deeply. And I am thrilled to co-chair this important fundraiser with Leonardo DiCaprio, whose support for this initiative is so critical.”

Proceeds from the annual Art+Film Gala go toward supporting 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.
