We’re thinking of everyone who has been impacted

We’re thinking of everyone who has been impacted by the fires in our city and our heart goes out to everyone who has experienced tremendous loss. In this time of grief, we must renew our commitment to care for one another and rebuild what has been lost.

Grief and Hope (@artworldfirereliefla) is an important initiative offering direct relief to those affected. Their goal is to raise $500,000 to provide direct support to artists and art workers who have lost their homes or studios.

Here’s how you can help or get help (all links in our bio):

Grief and Hope is a volunteer-led mutual aid and relief effort dedicated to supporting artists and individuals impacted by the fires. It is led by Kathryn Andrews, Andrea Bowers, Olivia Gauthier, Julia V. Hendrickson, and Ariel Pittman.
