As part of its founding commitment to accessibility and inclusion, the museum held a day of free food, drinks and activities that emphasized art and culture by and for the people of Los Angeles. While the celebration was available to all visitors on Sunday, the museum worked with a dozen community partners to invite their constituents to enjoy complimentary admission.
“We could potentially go the other route of opening this event and making it public, but for us it’s a true intentional pathway in making sure that we’re targeting communities that are historically excluded from museum settings and art institutions,” Academy Museum director of community and impact Marty Preciado tells The Hollywood Reporter.
