Create + Collaborate is a FREE 8-session art program for participants ages 55+ to explore techniques such as drawing, sculpture, and mixed media. Classes include art materials and parking validation. Seats are limited. Preference will be given to new students.
Due to construction, classes will take place in gallery spaces and outdoors on LACMA’s campus rather than in a studio. With that in mind, acrylic painting and printmaking classes are on hiatus.

From 2016 to 2019, LACMA facilitated Veterans Make Movies, a filmmaking program for military veterans that provided knowledge, skills, and a focus on relating experiences about the human condition from a veteran’s perspective. The program also included screenings and a film archive, which shares stories and builds understanding and empathy about veterans’ experiences.
For more information about L.A.-based opportunities for veterans in the arts, check out the United States Veterans’ Artists Alliance.
Presented by LACMA in collaboration with the Los Angeles Public Library, Veterans Make Movies is a three-year initiative consisting of filmmaking workshops, screenings, and community events focused on highlighting the veteran experience.
Veterans Make Movies is presented by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in collaboration with the Los Angeles Public Library and was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
