/ About
Over 40 artists affected by the Eaton and Palisades Fires share their stories of loss and resilience through this powerful exhibition, where 100% of proceeds go directly to the artists rebuilding their practices.
In the wake of LA’s devastating wildfires, hundreds of artists lost more than just their homes and studios—they lost lifetimes of work, memories, and irreplaceable creative legacies.
Curated by Craig Krull and Douglas Marshall, OUT OF THE ASHES features new and old work, some made while the fires were raging or directly in the aftermath. Personal reflections on what has been lost and first-hand accounts from each artist will accompany their work.
Amid the hustle and bustle of Frieze Week, your presence and support is appreciated. Come stand with artists affected by the Eaton and Palisades Fires, listen to their experiences, and see the work that has emerged from the ashes.

“The flames took everything—our laughter, our secrets, the soft rhythm of our lives. The walls that once held the foundation of our child’s first steps, our sleepless nights, and our quiet mornings now remain as smoke and shadows. That house was more than just a building; it was the cradle of our family's dreams, the warmth of our memories, the place we thought we would always return to. Now, all that’s left is the smell of smoke and the hollow ache of what used to be. It’s not just the house I mourn, but everything that was built inside it—our family, our future, and the moments we thought would last.”
