The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has completed a major renovation and reopened to the public with a new look. The museum's makeover represents a significant transformation for one of the largest art museums in the western United States.

Meanwhile, the art industry is experiencing workforce reductions as both Artnet and Artsy have laid off dozens of workers. The layoffs come amid broader economic pressures affecting the art market and technology platforms serving the sector. The cuts affect employees at two of the most prominent online art market platforms.
