Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s six buildings house a permanent collection of nearly 100,000 works, showcasing humanity’s highest artistic achievements – from ancient Mesopotamia to 21st-century Mexico – and reflecting all of the world’s cultures. Established in 1965 on Wilshire Boulevard along Los Angeles’ Miracle Mile, LACMA offers numerous cultural and educational exhibitions and programs to provide meaningful experiences in art for the widest array of audiences.

Los Angeles Philharmonic Association

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association serves over one million people a year by putting together a dazzling mix of the best orchestral, jazz and world music around. The goal is to build a culture of musical excellence and cooperation through programming, but the Orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles extends far beyond regular symphony concerts in a concert hall. It embraces the schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a huge and vastly diverse community. In fact, the Los Angeles Philharmonic devotes much of its energy and resources to ensuring that its presence is felt in every corner of Los Angeles.

Skirball Cultural Center

The Skirball Cultural Center has established itself as one of the world’s most dynamic Jewish cultural institutions, and among the most prominent cultural venues in the United States. Its mission is to explore the connections between four thousand years of Jewish heritage and the vitality of American democratic ideals, while welcoming and inspiring people of every ethnic and cultural identity in American life. The Skirball features an extraordinary museum, changing exhibitions, engaging music, theater, comedy, film, family, and literary programs, and the acclaimed school program serves over 30,000 children and teachers annually from public, private, and parochial schools.

Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney Museum houses one of the world’s foremost collections of twentieth-century American art. The Permanent Collection of some 12,000 works encompasses paintings, sculptures, multimedia installations, drawings, prints, and photographs—and is still growing. The Museum was founded in 1931 with a core group of 700 art objects, many of them from the personal collection of founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. In addition to Mrs. Whitney’s donations, the Museum’s holdings have been greatly enriched through the generous gifts of other major collectors. Each of these contributions has indelibly marked the Whitney’s overall collection with a distinctive, personal character. Despite its early emphasis on realist art, the Whitney Museum has long been dedicated to assembling a collection that offers a comprehensive picture of twentieth-century American art. Although the collection is characterized by its breadth, it is equally recognized for its in-depth commitment to the work of a number of artists.
