LACMA Local is something brand new: a membership designed to create a LACMA community and connect people to one another, with the museum as the catalyst for these connections.
Locals are invited to events that take place twice a month on Saturdays, designed to encourage members of LACMA Local to make friends, participate, and connect. Check out the complete listings to see what's coming up!
As a LACMA Local, you'll be invited to attend as many events as you like. You can add LACMA Local to a current membership for $25 per person (up to two people per membership), or join a la carte for $40.
LACMA Local is for anyone who likes LACMA and is interested in forming bonds with other people who are into LACMA. It's not about how old you are or where you're from or what you do. Everyone is welcome.
