Evenings for Educators is back for the 2025–26 school year with an intimate look at [*Grounded*](https://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/grounded), which presents the work of 35 artists based in the Americas and the Pacific who imbue the land with meaning by engaging with Indigenous mythologies and motifs to interpret their heritage. The featured artists retell ancestral histories and recreate traditions, forging new aesthetic languages. Their work invites us to experience the land not just as terrain, but as a foundation for exploring ecology, sovereignty, memory, and home. Guests will enjoy talks, hands-on art-making workshops, and dinner. Dinner and parking is included with admission. **Agenda** 4:30–5 pm: Arrive, check in, and explore *Grounded *in BCAM, Level 2 5–5:40 pm: Lecture in BCAM, Level 1, with the exhibition curators 5:50–6:50 pm: Workshops and tours throughout campus 6:50–7:30 pm: Dinner on the Smidt Welcome Plaza 7:30–8 pm: Gallery viewing Check out our accompanying [curricular resources](https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/de8051f4e2df46a3a78c4c7467be0aa4) to craft learning experiences that spark your students’ creativity and view recordings of previous programs on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJy-HLfC3xxCwD4wSW1rYH5-oGgmqtLZi).
