Langson Institute and Museum of California Art
Inspire Wonder at Langson IMCA

At Langson IMCA, we believe in the power of art to inspire wonder, transform lives, and ignite curiosity. As both an institute and a museum, we bridge our collection with UC Irvine’s campus—enriching student learning, supporting faculty research, providing dynamic public programs, and curating thought-provoking exhibitions.

We believe creativity can inspire change, blending the arts with STEM to foster new ideas, interdisciplinary collaboration, and meaningful connections between art, education, and innovation.

Today, on Giving Day, we ask you to invest in the bright future of the arts at UC Irvine. Every dollar raised directly supports our student centered programs which provide career advancement training and engaging experiences. Some of our most successful programs include:

  • Gallery Guides – UC Irvine students who enhance the museum experience for visitors while gaining professional and personal development. 
  • Student Museum Art Educators – The backbone of our Multi-Visit Schools Program, these students gain valuable arts education experience in museum and classroom settings.
  • Museum Immersion Positions – These hands-on roles encourage undergraduate and graduate students to apply their academic learnings, solve real challenges, and conduct original research to shape exhibitions and care for our permanent collection.


Your support empowers UC Irvine students to engage with the transformative power of art—sparking creativity, critical thinking, and connection. Thank you for shaping a vibrant community where art inspires and thrives!
