Charli XCX to Perform at LACMA Art + Film and Baz Luhrmann, Simone Leigh to Be Honored

As a movie enthusiast with a soft spot for Hollywood glamour and a deep appreciation for art, I can hardly contain my excitement about this year’s LACMA Art + Film Gala! Being based in Los Angeles, I’ve had the privilege of attending some truly unforgettable events, but this one promises to be exceptional.


LACMA’s Art + Film Gala is going to be brat this year.

This year’s event at the museum will feature a performance by Charli XCX, with the evening serving as a tribute to filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and artist Simone Leigh.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the upcoming Art + Film event in Los Angeles – it’s an annual gathering that brings together some of Hollywood’s most prominent figures and influential personalities from the realms of media, technology, fashion, and art. This year, the event, jointly chaired by Eva Chow and Leonardo DiCaprio, will be held under the patronage of Gucci on November 2 at LACMA in Los Angeles. I can hardly wait!

“Michael Govan, LACMA’s CEO and Wallis Annenberg director, stated on Wednesday that Simone Leigh is an outstanding and vital artist in today’s scene, skillfully blending various artistic styles and focusing on Black women as central subjects in a compelling and emotional manner. He also praised Baz Luhrmann for creating a profound cinematic body of work spanning three decades, fueled by his creativity and enthusiasm. Govan expressed excitement about recognizing both Simone and Luhrmann, and celebrating their exceptional careers.”

At the moment, LACMA and California African American Museum (CAAM) are jointly presenting the extensive exhibition of artist Simone Leigh, which is her largest on the West Coast so far. This combined display will continue until January 20, 2025.

“I’m thrilled to assemble an exceptional team this upcoming event, as we honor the outstanding achievements of Simone Leigh and Baz Luhrmann. I am deeply appreciative of our long-term collaborator Gucci, for their unwavering generosity towards LACMA and their enduring faith in the transformative power of art and cinema. The anticipation builds as we welcome the talented Charli XCX to take the stage and create an unforgettable moment. This promises to be a truly spectacular night!”
