Message from the Director

Dear Friends:

Welcome and thank you for visiting us online.

This year promises to be rich with new research, exhibitions, and programs to share with you. All of our activities are designed to provide multiple points of entry to experience art. Our goal is to open our doors wide to spark engagement and promote ongoing exploration of what constitutes the art of California.

We are building a 21st century art museum, philosophically and physically, that is rooted in equity and committed to inclusive excellence—a place where creative thinkers and makers come together through interdisciplinary, cross-cultural dialogue to innovate and address critical issues and ideas. The intensive planning effort that is underway for our new home on UCI’s North Campus ensures ample spaces for learning, discovery, and reflection. The university expects to announce a design architect later this year and the project remains on schedule to open our new building in 2027.

But we are not waiting for the new facility to bring our vision to life. We invite you to be involved with us on this journey as we work alongside artists, curators, scholars, educators, students, and others to investigate the visual culture of California and its broad-reaching impacts.

And now that you are here, please stay for a while, take a look around the site, and watch this four-minute video, the first of three that tells the story of Langson IMCA—its foundational goals, current offerings, and future ambitions.

We are so happy that you visited today and we look forward to seeing you in person soon. Thank you for joining us for all that lies ahead.
