On Saturday, November 6, 2021, more than 650 prominent guests from the art, film, fashion, and entertainment industries, among others, gathered at LACMA to honor artists Amy Sherald and Kehinde Wiley and filmmaker Steven Spielberg at the 10th annual Art+Film Gala. Co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, this year’s event raised $5 million to support LACMA’s film initiatives, as well as future exhibitions, acquisitions, and programming. Returning once again as presenting sponsor of the Art+Film Gala, Gucci expanded its longstanding and generous partnership with the museum by supporting LACMA’s presentation of The Obama Portraits Tour and the companion exhibition Black American Portraits. Audi provided additional support for the gala for the third year
