EVENT SPACES
First Level
Wilshire Lobby
The Museum’s lobby is a grand space particularly well suited to cocktail receptions. As part of the Hammer Projects series, which gives solo shows to promising emerging artists, a different large-scale wall mural is created every few months—a dramatic backdrop for Lobby events. A Carrara marble bar functions as a serving station. Occupancy is 60 for seated events and 334 for standing events. Events must be planned to take place after the Museum’s public hours.
Second Level
Hammer Courtyard
The Museum's open-air courtyard is a marble and granite-designed garden oasis surrounded by covered porticos and flanked by the Billy Wilder Theater. It accommodates up to 500 guests for a seated dinner, 800 for buffet, and 900 guests for a cocktail party. (Image by Line 8 Photography)

Built to the highest standards of film and video projection, it can accommodate technologies dating from the early 1900s to present includind delicate nitrate film, 16mm, 35mm, and 70mm film, and the most recent digital formats. This versatile space is not only an ideal screening room, but also a performance venuse with a stage and flexible sound and lighting systems designed to support lectures, readings, conversations, concerts, symposium panels, and other activities. Trained professional Hammer audiovisual technicians are on hand to assist you. The Theater seats up to 295 and, for your VIP guests, there is a well appointed green room with private access that can accommodate up to 10 people comfortably.
Gallery 6
This gallery and performance space is an ideal multi-purpose setting for lectures, conferences, performances and presentations of many types. Occupancy for theater-style seating is 240 or the space can accommodate 120 guests for a seated event and 300 for cocktail receptions.
Third Level
Lindbrook Terrace
Overlooking the Courtyard, the Lindbrook Terrace is a sheltered and secluded outdoor balcony adjacent to the galleries. Through the magnificently arched window, guests will enjoy sweeping views of Westwood Village and the Santa Monica Mountains. It is an ideal setting for an intimate formal seated dinner for up to 150 or a casual cocktail reception for up to 350. If your guest list is more than 350, you may want to take advantage of a higher level of Corporate Partnership that includes use of the Gallery Promenades, where a cocktail reception can take place in one area and the dinner area in another.
