Deets: Venice Family Clinic - a non-profit community health center that provides quality health care to people in need - announced today that the 45th Annual Venice Family Clinic Art Walk + Auction will take place May 10 - 19, 2024. Venice Art Walk has rotated locations since the pandemic and will return to Venice, California this year with a gallery and auction.
The exhibition, featuring the works of established, mid-career, and emerging artists, will be free and open to the public at 910 Abbot Kinney in Venice. Proceeds from art sales help fund the Clinic’s innovative and integrated approach to providing comprehensive health care services to more than 45,000 people from the Santa Monica Mountains through the South Bay. A private celebration for artists, collectors, and Clinic supporters will be held on Friday, May 17, and a post-auction exhibition will extend to May 25.
The theme of this year’s event is History, Health, and Home to recognize the critical role that building community and a sense of home plays in an individual’s well-being. For 45 years, artists, gallerists, and collectors have helped Venice Family Clinic advance greater health equity by providing and collecting artwork at this annual event. This milestone edition of Venice Family Clinic Art Walk + Auction will showcase the works of over 150 artists who are exclusively LA-based to celebrate the growth of the LA arts scene and of Venice Family Clinic. Selected by the Curatorial Committee, led by Max Rippon and consisting of Elsa Lee Bruno, Eva Chimento, Eliane Gans, John Geresi, Charlie James, Angelo Lanza and Yiwei Lu, the exhibition will feature artworks from Ed Ruscha, Larry Bell, Ed Moses, Arthur Jafa, Alison Saar, Kenny Scharf, Jordan Wolfson, Patrisse Cullors, Sayre Gomez, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., Jeremy Shockley, Analia Saban, Nancy Evans and many more.
Fred Eversley, legendary sculptor and pioneer of the Light and Space art movement, will be honored as the event’s Signature Artist for his impact and influence in the development of contemporary art from Los Angeles during the postwar period. Eversley, who was based in Venice for over fifty years, is known for synthesizing elements from various artistic historical movements associated with Southern California, which are informed by his lifelong studies of the timeless principles of light, space, time, and gravity. His Cylindrical Lenses sculpture is featured in this year’s Venice Art Walk signature artist poster.
Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is free and open to the public!
