During difficult times like these, there is an unquantifiable benefit for LACMA to reaffirm our commitment to our mission and our community by moving forward with the building project. We expect our project to be an important source of job creation, with as many as up to 4,000 people working on our construction project through the next four years. Having already reached $650 million in campaign pledges and almost 90% of the total campaign goal completed, LACMA’s board of trustees reaffirmed its commitment to the project two weeks ago, recognizing that our new building is a powerful and visible signal to Los Angeles of renewed vitality and an engine for recovery after this crisis.
