Doja Cat to Headline LACMA's Prestigious Art+Film Gala in 2026

In 2025, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is preparing to host its prestigious Art+Film gala, and the event has secured a high-profile musical performer for the occasion. Doja Cat, the chart-topping artist who recently released her album "Vie" and announced a world tour, will take the stage as the gala's musical guest on November 1, 2026.

The annual gala, which is sponsored by Gucci, will also honor filmmaker Ryan Coogler and artist Mary Corse. The event will be chaired once again by Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have been instrumental in the gala's success over the past 14 years.

According to Chow, Doja Cat's "boundary-breaking creative force" and "incomparable energy" will be a perfect fit for the evening's festivities. The gala will take place against the backdrop of LACMA's nearly completed David Geffen Galleries, designed by architect Peter Zumthor, which is expected to open in April 2026.

Proceeds from the Art+Film gala will support LACMA's efforts to make film a more central part of its curatorial programming and the institution's overall mission. Doja Cat's appearance at the event is sure to draw significant attention and excitement from the art and music communities.
