Making some last-minute rearrangements to raised serve the fire-affected artwork neighborhood throughout town of Los Angeles, Frieze launched a handful of fire-relief initiatives, together with Galleries Collectively for the LA Arts Group Fireplace Reduction Fund.

A good portion of the stand’s gross sales will probably be donated to the fund to help artists in quick want within the wake of the Eaton and Palisades wildfires.
