Co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the gala has consistently honored influential figures in both film and art. Its success is attributed to the ongoing dedication of its co-chairs, who have successfully bridged the worlds of art and cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"when-and-where-the-2025-gala\">When and Where: The 2025 Gala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>2025 LACMA Art+Film Gala<\/strong> will take place on <strong>Saturday, November 1, 2025<\/strong>, at the <strong>Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)<\/strong>.
