‘It’s My House!’ a benefit auction for SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition
Timed Live Auction hosted by The Auction Collective October 10 – 31, 2022
It’s My House! celebrates the breadth of incredible artists living and working in Los Angeles, inspired by the city’s contradictions; a metropolis built on optimism and opportunity, while the reality is also one of poverty and division.
Through resilience, the city represents the ultimate juxtaposition between light and dark, nature and fabrication. Los Angeles embodies human ingenuity and imagination; an endless playground for artistic exploration.
The It’s My House! exhibition series was founded by CURA Art, to provide a 'home' for inspiration, debate and sanctuary, surrounded by the joy and passion that artistry brings. It’s My House! highlights diverse mediums, in response to increasingly experimental contemporary practices and a growing interest in cross collecting.
The significance of our homes as havens has become even more poignant over the last few years. Many of the artists included in this series are inspired by what home means to them and navigate that theme in multiple ways.
Global events have widely illustrated disparity and although a house is a safe haven for some, it is not for others. All of the artists included live and work in the Los Angeles area, a city with growing wealth inequality. In light of this, proceeds from the sale of all works will be donated to Los Angeles-based homelessness charity SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition.
The online timed auction will run through October 31
Artists included:
Adia Millett, Alex Asher Daniel, Alexandra Grant, Alli Conrad, Beryl Odette, Bijou Karman, Brett William Childs, Brian Wills, Christopher Noxon, Ellen Jong, Jenny Hata Blumenfield, Lorien Stern, Manjari Sharma, Meegan Barnes, Michael Shaw, Niki Ford, Nils Benson, Patti Oleon, Rebecca Farr, Ruth Pastine, Senon Williams, Skylar Hughes, Virginia Broersma.
