LA ART SHOW 2025: BREATHING RESILIENCE

 

Opening Night: Wednesday, February 19, 2025, 6pm

Location: Building Bridges Art Exchange Booth 605, LA Convention Center 

Exhibition Duration: February 19 - February 23, 2025 

​

We invite you to witness a powerful testament to the human spirit at the “Breathing Resilience” exhibition, presented by Building Bridges Art Exchange. This exhibition features the poignant works of artists who have faced the loss of their homes due to recent fires yet continue to rise and create with unwavering determination. 

 

Curated by Marisa Caichiolo, this site-specific project for our booth at the LA Art Show 2025, marking its 30th Anniversary, is more than just an exhibition—it’s a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the unbreakable bond of community. 

 

Join us as we share the stories of artists like Walter Erra Hubert, who recently closed an exhibition in Italy with our organization; Petra Eiko, who has been involved in our educational projects for the past 10 years; and Eric Zammitt, who is also sharing his experiences with us. Their narratives will inspire us all to find strength amidst adversity.

 

Together, we will showcase not only their art but also powerful video statements from fellow creators like Eric Minh Swenson and John DeTemple, illuminating the journeys of these remarkable individuals.

 

Every piece sold during this exhibition will directly support the artists, helping them rebuild not just their physical spaces but also their dreams and aspirations. Let’s come together to honor their resilience and creativity in the face of life-altering challenges. 

​

We also invite you to explore the catalog of DIVERSEartLA, curated by our Founder and Curator Marisa Caichiolo, celebrating an 8-year retrospective. Our participation as one of the highlighted local nonprofits is featured in this catalog. More information here.

 

We look forward to seeing you there!
