Venue Information
The Mercy For Animals Gala will take place at the grand ballroom of Skirball Cultural Center, with a reception under the skies, breathtaking mountain views, and unique water features.
Skirball is nestled in the beautiful Santa Monica Mountain range in Los Angeles, just a stone’s throw from the Getty Museum. Open to the public since 1996, Skirball has established itself as one of the world’s most dynamic cultural institutions and a leading cultural venue in Los Angeles.
In 2019, the animal protection movement lost an icon: activist; mom; fashionista; and all-around sassy, fun-loving superhero Susan Weingartner. Susan planned our galas for six years with so much love, energy, and excellence. We dedicate our 2022 gala to her life and impact. A key member of our Mercy For Animals family and the movement, Susan was a friend and mentor to a generation of activists, and we continue our work with her spirit and zest for life. We hope you enjoy the gala and all our events with the same joy Susan brought to our world.
