UC Irvine Giving Day

Today, you have the power to shape the cultural future of UC Irvine and Orange County.

The newly unified UC Irvine Langson Orange County Museum of Art represents a bold new chapter – a world-class university and a leading contemporary art museum coming together to create something truly extraordinary. This Giving Day, we invite you to be part of it.

This isn’t just a museum. It’s a living laboratory for creativity. A gathering place for bold ideas. A space where students can encounter art not as spectators, but as thinkers, makers and leaders.

When you give, your impact is immediate and meaningful:

-    Exhibitions remain free and accessible, welcoming thousands of visitors each year from across Orange County.
-    Storied collections of California art are preserved, safeguarding them for generations to come.
-    Community programs expand, connecting art with education, wellness, and civic dialogue.
-    Students are championed, ensuring the next generation of creative voices has a platform.

This museum belongs to all of us who believe in the power of ideas, creativity and community. When a leading research university joins forces with a contemporary art museum, something extraordinary happens - art becomes a catalyst for discovery, dialogue and connection. The UC Irvine Langson Museum brings the university’s spirit of innovation and discovery beyond the campus and into a dynamic museum that elevates UC Irvine’s global reputation and enriches the region we call home.

A gift of any size supports museum education and professional development opportunities for students, sustains ambitious exhibitions and ensures that art remains accessible to all. On Giving Day, your participation matters just as much as the amount you can give. When our community shows up, it sends a powerful message: we believe in the future of UC Irvine. We believe in the arts. We believe in what this new museum can become.

Let’s build something extraordinary together.

Join us. Make your gift. Shape the future of art at UC Irvine.
