How to Help Artists in Los Angeles Wildfires
The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have devastated communities, including many artists who have lost their homes, studios, and livelihoods. These creators need our support now more than ever.
Here’s how you can help:
- Donate to relief funds: Organizations like the California Arts Council, CERF+ (Craft Emergency Relief Fund), and local wildfire relief efforts are providing crucial aid to artists in need.
- Mutual Aid Resources For artists who need art supplies, and places to work here are some additional resources
- Superchief Gallery is hosting an art supplies drive at their Chinatown gallery, contact celina@thecelinarodriguez.com.for more info
- Thinkspace Projects is collecting supplies to donate to Red Cross LA and is also distributing N95 masks at their gallery space
- Chinatown bookstore and gallery The Fulcrum Press is offering its space to those in need of internet, electricity to charge devices, filtered air, and space to store belongings. Reach out to them on Instagram to coordinate.
- Purchase their work: Many artists are selling their remaining pieces or creating new works to rebuild. Supporting them directly can make a significant impact.
- Share their stories: Spread the word about artists in need through social media to connect them with resources and buyers.
Together, we can help these artists recover and continue to share their creative gifts with the world. Visit our website or social media for links to trusted resources.
Let’s come together to support our artistic community.
