CIMAM 2024 Annual Conference, Los Angeles, December 6-9

Day 1 - Fri Dec 6 The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA

Session: What is our Agency?: The Contemporary Art Museum and Climate Crisis

The CIMAM 2024 Annual Conference addressed the subject of sustainability from an integrated and holistic perspective, beginning with our desire to respond to climate change by reassessing our policies around collection care and conservation; rethinking the buildings we occupy and the cities we are part of; while also exploring innovative models for economic sustainability and community building.

Co-hosted by The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Hammer Museum at UCLA, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), with lead support from the Getty Foundation and the generous support from the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support for the conference is provided by the Perenchio Foundation and the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation. Hauser & Wirth, Getty Foundation, and East West Bank provide hosting sponsorship.
