Michael Govan
LACMA CEO and Wallace Annenberg Director
Genesis and LACMA — we've built our ambitions together.
The David Geffen Galleries, where Genesis has been encouraging the whole way, the concept is to cross cultures, times, media; to be without hierarchy.
Naima Keith
Senior Vice President, Education, Public Programs, and Regional Partnership
Our goal is for people to leave inspired and thinking differently.
Genesis Talks
The purpose of The Genesis Talks is to engage the public with access to visionaries.
People who are pushing the needle; inspiring us.
There's no creativity and innovation without provocation.
Both Genesis and LACMA really see art as being transformative.
To make you think about our interconnectivity — to see something standing in front of us that not everyone sees.
