Message from the Interim Museum Director

Dear Friends,

I hope you and your loved ones had a happy and healthy holiday season.

Like many of you, I have a deep appreciation for art museums and the vital role they can play in our diverse communities. Art museums can inspire wonder — that extraordinary moment when a memorable encounter with art helps us make sense of the world and find our place within it. When visiting Langson IMCA, I hope you take the time to slow down, embrace the experience, and make space for that sense of awe and inspiration.

As we begin a new year, the Langson IMCA team is laser focused on inspiring wonder in a space that is welcoming to visitors of all ages through a dynamic lineup of exhibitions and public programs. We are excited to deepen our connections with the UC Irvine community as well as fellow art enthusiasts, families, and visitors from Orange County and beyond. By offering ample opportunities to experience, explore, and discuss the significance of California art together, we strive to create an inclusive cultural dialogue that invites everyone to participate in the conversation.

When you next visit our museum, I invite you to please stop by our new Reading Lounge and In Focus gallery. Our ongoing art-making activities are also designed to help you flex your creativity, offering even more opportunities for you to connect with art and ignite your imagination.

We look forward to seeing you at Langson IMCA throughout the new year.

Till then,

Warmly,
