Description

Due to the small exhibition space, we will be selecting only a few artists for this show.

All works will be for sale, with a 20% commission (or more, if the artist chooses) donated to Habitat for Humanity’s ReBUILD LA disaster relief program. We are also open to discussing alternative organizations artists may wish to support.

Theme & Inspiration
This exhibition seeks to capture personal and collective experiences of loss, resilience, and renewal in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires. We welcome all styles—from abstract to representational—offering space for diverse interpretations of the theme.
Consider exploring:
???? How did the fires impact you or your community?
???? What emotions surfaced as the city was engulfed in smoke and flames?
???? What does recovery and rebuilding look like?
???? How can we envision a stronger, more resilient future?
Whether you create something new or submit an existing piece that resonates with these ideas, we look forward to seeing your perspective.
