Deets: Venice Family Clinic, a nonprofit community health center dedicated to providing quality health care to people in need, announced today that the 46th annual Venice Family Clinic Art Walk + Auction will take place May 9-18, 2025.
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. The artwork will also be available to view online, and bids will be accepted beginning May 9 through May 18. Proceeds from art sales will support 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 reception for artists, collectors, and Clinic supporters will be held on Saturday, May 10, and a post-auction exhibition will extend through May 25.
The 2025 event embraces the theme “Past, Present, and Future,” celebrating the Clinic’s longstanding connection with the local artist community and honoring the rich diversity of Los Angeles’ creatives across generations. For 46 years, artists, gallerists, and collectors have united to support Venice Family Clinic’s mission of advancing health equity by contributing and collecting artwork at this annual event.
Lita and Isabelle Albuquerque, mother and daughter and individually acclaimed artists, will be honored as the event’s Signature Artists. As visionary forces, their profound legacy embodies the inspirational role of family in their work, as in the Clinic's.
This year’s exhibition will include a dedicated section honoring the strength, resilience, and creativity of the communities most deeply affected by the recent wildfires in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades, many of whom are patients, donors, artists, and neighbors of the Clinic.
This exhibit section will speak to the profound impact of the fires — from the hardship and loss of so much destruction to the accompanying health consequences. This spotlight serves as a recognition of the artists’ contributions during these unimaginable challenges and a gesture of gratitude. It will be a moment to speak about the efforts Venice Family Clinic has taken in the wake of the conflagration and the role art and community play in healing and recovery.
The contributions of Black artists from Altadena, a community with a rich cultural legacy and a powerful creative voice, will be highlighted in this section. This work speaks not only to the current moment, but also to the long-standing histories of beauty, solidarity, and self-determination that continue to shape the landscape of Los Angeles.
In addition, this year's exhibit launches the Honored Gallery Patrons initiative, which recognizes galleries that show exceptional dedication and support for Venice Family Clinic. The 2025 Honored Gallery Patrons are L.A. Louver and Nicodim Gallery.
Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is free and open to the public.
