Craig Krull Gallery
Out of The Ashes at Bergamot Station Arts Center, Building F2. Opening Reception & Artist Talk: February 22, 2pm In the ongoing aftermath of one of the worst disasters in the history of Los Angeles, we seek to directly benefit the artists affected by the Eaton and Palisades Fires with an exhibition of their works, for which they will receive 100% of the proceeds. This exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery, Out of the Ashes, began as a direct fire relief effort, but quickly evolved into an opportunity for artists to share personal stories and responses to this unprecedented moment in our collective experience. It includes work by over thirty L.A. artists, interpretive statements from each of them, and an artist talk moderated by Hannah Sloan on February 22, with an opening reception to follow. Participating artists include Natalia Berglund, Elaine Carhartt, Kevin Cooley, Michael Deyermond, Brad Eberhard, Carol Erb, Malado Francine, Michael Freitas Wood, James Griffith, Salomón Huerta, Beanie Kaman, John Knuth, Augustine Kofie, Aline Mare, Kim McCarty, Kelly McDonald, Ana Morales, Gary Palmer, Laura Parker, Cleon Peterson, Phranc, Mary Anna Pomonis, Mark Posey, Rebeca Puga, Milo Reice, Nancy Romero, Delbar Shahbaz, Matt Shallenberger, Joshua Simpson, Amy Smith, Coleen Sterritt, William Stranger, Gay Summer Rick, Jane Szabo, Camilla Taylor, Molly Tierney, Dani Tull, Philip Vaughan, Yohannes Yamassee, and Eric Zammitt Out of the Ashes is an event of the Bergamot Tenants Association, with support from the City of Santa Monica, Rising Realty Partners, and Berman Art Projects.
