Visible and Vibrant: LGBTQ+ Artists in LACMA’s Collection

Visible and Vibrant is a docent-led tour series celebrating LGBTQ+ artists in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Welcoming participants of all ages and identities, the tours explore how personal experience shapes art and invites conversation and discovery. Join us for a dynamic look at creativity, community, and the stories behind the art. Tours are offered every Friday in October, 4, 5 PM. Admission is free for Los Angeles County residents after 3 PM and tours are free with museum admission. Go Metro: the Los Angeles Metro D Line now provides direct service to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Wilshire/Fairfax Station). Visible and Vibrant: LGBTQ+ Artists in LACMA’s Collection is organized by LACMA as part of the 2026 Circa: Queer Histories Festival, presented by One Institute. Located on the Pacific Rim, LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection of 155,000 objects that illuminate 6,000 years of artistic expression across the globe. Committed to showcasing a multitude of art histories, LACMA exhibits and interprets works of art from new and unexpected points of view that are informed by the region’s rich cultural heritage and diverse population. LACMA’s spirit of experimentation is reflected in its work with artists, technologists, and thought leaders as well as in its regional, national, and global partnerships to share collections and programs, create pioneering initiatives, and engage new audiences.
