The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) held its 13th annual Art+Film Gala on November 2, 2024. The event gathered over 650 guests from various sectors including art, film, fashion, and entertainment. The gala aimed to honor artist Simone Leigh and filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. A special performance by Charli XCX was also featured.

This year's event was co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. It successfully raised more than $6.4 million, setting a new record for the fundraiser. The funds will aid LACMA in enhancing the role of film within its curatorial programming and support the museum's broader mission.

Gucci has been a partner with LACMA since the inception of the Art+Film Gala in 2011 and returned as the presenting sponsor for this year's event.
