The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has booked American singer and rapper Doja Cat as the musical guest for its annual Art+Film Gala on November 1. The event will also honor visual artist Mary Corse, a key figure in the Light and Space movement, and filmmaker Ryan Coogler, known for 'Black Panther' and 'Sinner'. The gala is co-chaired by LACMA trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Art+Film Gala is one of LACMA's main fundraising events, raising $6.4 million in 2024. Booking high-profile musical guests like Doja Cat helps draw attention and donations, supporting the museum's programs. The event also highlights the intersection of visual art and cinema, honoring influential figures from both fields each year.
