LACE Benefit Art Auction 2018

SAVE THE DATE | LACE BENEFIT ART AUCTION MAY 30, 2018

Vibiana
214 S. Main Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012

LACE is thrilled to celebrate its 40th anniversary as the longest-running contemporary artist space in Los Angeles, at the annual Benefit Art Auction on May 30, 2018 at Vibiana with a special reception by celebrity chef Neal Fraser’s Redbird. In recognition that our cultural, social and political landscapes continue to change in our current national climate, LACE’s long-standing commitment to breaking boundaries, advancing experimentation, and giving voice to otherwise marginalized voices in art has never been more urgent.

The online auction launches May 16, 2018 on Paddle8.
