Message from the Interim Museum Director

Dear Friends, 

Like so many of you, I have a profound love of art museums and the vital role they can play in our lives. Being present with a work of art inspires wonder — that extraordinary feeling when something challenges our understanding of the world, helps us make sense of it, and, ultimately, find our special place within it. When visiting Langson IMCA, I challenge you to seize the opportunity to slow down, reflect, and experience wonder through the art of our great state. 

The Langson IMCA team exists to inspire wonder in everyone we proudly engage and serve. It’s our purpose, our why, and we do this through dynamic exhibitions and public programs—always free and always open to all. This year, we will lean even further into our purpose by strengthening our connections with you: our UC Irvine community as well as art enthusiasts, families, and visitors from across Orange County and beyond.  

On your next visit to the Museum, we invite you to experience all that Langson IMCA has to offer—explore exhibitions in our main gallery, Reading Lounge, and In Focus gallery, and enjoy hands-on creativity in our drop-in art-making studio. Stay connected by joining our email list and Instagram and Facebook accounts for updates on upcoming programs and new opportunities. We can’t wait to welcome you to a journey of discovery and wonder! 

Warmly and gratefully yours,
