Academy Award-winning film director Kathryn Bigelow and pioneering California Light and Space artist Robert Irwin will be honored at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s 2016 Art+Film Gala, the museum has announced.

As was the case last year, Oscar-winning actor and art collector Leonardo DiCaprio will serve as co-chair with LACMA trustee Eva Chow. Gucci is sponsoring the benefit, so expect the star-studded crowd to be particularly well-dressed.

The gala’s 2015 edition honored James Turrell and film director Alejandro González Iñárritu. The event had some 600 guests, many from the fields of art, entertainment, and fashion (Reese Witherspoon, Usher, and Naomi Campbell all attended), and raised over $4 million to support film at the museum.

According to one guest who spoke to the Hollywood Reporter, the A-list party “almost felt like the West Coast version of the Met Gala.”

“Robert Irwin and Kathryn Bigelow, are gifted artists who are fearless in their creative and social practice. Kathryn’s films are visually and thematically captivating and truly exemplify her singular vision as an artist. Bob is one of the most significant artists of our time. He creates art not of objects but of perception,” said LACMA CEO and director Michael Govan in a statement, calling the benefit “the touchstone annual event celebrating the intersection of art, film, and fashion.”

Irwin has been a feature of the LACMA collection since the 1960s, and began work on the museum’s Primal Palm Garden, an evolving installation of over 100 trees, in 2010. This summer, he completed a new art installation at Marfa, Texas.
