Artists who were directly affected by the wildfires take center stage in the aptly titled Out of the Ashes, with the proceeds of sales going directly to them. Artists include John Knuth, Salomón Huerta, Elizabeth Tremante, Dani Tull, Camilla Taylor, and Kevin Cooley, whose photographs of wildfires were recently on view at These Days and who lost his home in the Eaton Fire. The show was curated by Craig Krull and Douglas Marshall, and sponsored by the Bergamot Tenants Association, City of Santa Monica, Rising Realty Partners, and Robert Berman Projects. Bergamot Station Art Center will host an artist talk moderated by curator and art advisor Hannah Sloan on Saturday, February 22 at 2pm.
