Help LA's Artists and Art Workers Start Over

Grief… and hope. We are a group of volunteers—artists, gallery employees, and other cultural workers—who love our city and our community!

We are raising funds to support artists and art workers affected by the devastating Los Angeles fires of January 2025.

Our $1,250,000 Goal

Our goal is to raise $1,250,000 to be distributed to people in our community who have lost their home, studio, and/or archive. By donating to our fund, you will make a direct impact on this diverse community, which has uneven access to infrastructure and support.

For Those In Need

Artists and Art Workers

Our fundraising and mutual aid work has been in support of artists and art workers affected by the Los Angeles-area fires—particularly those individuals who have experienced full loss or severe damage to a home, studio, workplace, or personal property crucial to their livelihood.
