About Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery Associates (LAMAGA)

The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery Associates (LAMAGA) was founded in 1952 as a non-profit corporation dedicated to supporting the Gallery. Its mission is to enhance the exhibition program; promote visitor understanding and appreciation through the education program; and to ensure the gallery's accessibility and involvement with a city-wide audience and the surrounding predominantly immigrant communities. Board members from the Los Angeles business and professional community support the gallery financially through grant writing and the administration of grant funds; donor cultivation; production and sale of exhibition catalogues; and ancillary programs and fundraising events developed with gallery staff to compliment the exhibitions.
