Join our community of supporters and artists for an intimate party to benefit LACE. As the city’s longest-running incubator for contemporary artists, curators, and cultural workers, LACE champions art that focuses on freedom of expression, experimental forms, and socially engaging content.

This year 100% of Benefit proceeds are in support of our Renovate and Relaunch Comprehensive Campaign as the LACE gallery is transformed and the organization builds its inaugural three-year Program Fund. In its next design, LACE anchors the new Hollywood Arts Collective complex, retaining its street-level storefront location on Hollywood Blvd.

Online Auction on ARTSY 

From October 10–October 25, 2024 art lovers and supporters can bid on 50 works by iconic artists such as Roberto Gil de Montes, Billy Al Bengston, and Analia Saban, as well as exciting emerging Los Angeles artists such as Jackie Amézquita, Jessica Bellamy, and Young Joon Kwak.
