Leo to serve as co-chair of the LACMA’s Art+Film Gala. The Event will occur on November 6.

LACMA’s Art+Film Gala shines a spotlight on each discipline by honoring a standout creative from each space, done in front of a well-heeled crowd of art, entertainment and philanthropy insiders. This year, however, the program is being expanded to hold space for a trio of honorees on Nov. 6: Steven Spielberg will share a stage with prominent artists Amy Sherald and Kehinde Wiley.

The latter two are known for portraits of Barack and Michelle Obama — Sherald’s “Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama” and Wiley’s “Barack Obama” — works that will be on view at LACMA from Nov. 7-Jan. 2 as part of the West Coast presentation of The Obama Portraits Tour, organized by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. To complement the exhibition, the museum will feature Black American Portraits which examines two centuries of Black portraiture, from Nov. 7-April 17.
