Educators, join us at LACMA all year long as we explore artworks in the David Geffen Galleries, the new home of the museum’s permanent collection that the L.A. Times calls “radically alive.”
In January, see the work of important local artists in LACMA’s collection. Revisit old favorites and find new artworks to love, choose a guided experience with one of our gallery educators, create your own unique path with the support of our self-guided tour materials, and participate in hands-on art-making workshops.
Guests will enjoy a special talk, tours, workshops, and dinner. Dinner and parking is included with admission.
