January 24, 2007 Dear Friends: Welcome to the Opening Night Gala of the 12th Annual Los Angeles Art Show. For the fourth year, the Art Museum Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the beneficiary of this remarkable event, and on behalf of the Board of Trustees, we would like to extend our most sincere appreciation for this continued collaboration between the Art Museum Council and the L.A. Art Show. The Art Museum Council was founded 55 years ago and since its beginning has played an integral role in supporting the arts in Southern California. The council is LACMA’s original service organization (in fact, the group predates LACMA’s founding on Wilshire Boulevard) and includes more than 250 members who serve both as volunteers and donors to the museum and as patrons of arts and culture throughout the region. We would like to take this opportunity to especially thank Geri Sherman, the chair of the Art Museum Council, Dottie Lewis, the council’s executive vice-chair of fundraising, Lana Bergstein and Connie Nagler, event chairs, and additionally Kim Martindale and his staff for their continued support of LACMA during this most important time in our history. To everyone attending the show—we hope you have a fantastic time this weekend, and also invite you to visit LACMA’s Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images exhibition designed by artist John Baldessari. With clouds at your feet and freeways overhead, it is truly an exhibition you have to see to believe! Sincerely,
Nancy Daly Riordan Chair, Board of Trustees
Michael Govan CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director
