Jenna Dewan to Host LA Art Show Amid California Wildfire Recovery Efforts

LOS ANGELES, California — Jenna Dewan, the multi-talented actress and dancer, is set to host the VIP opening night celebration for the Los Angeles Art Show on Feb. 19, 2025. The annual art fair will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center, running from Feb. 20 to Feb. 23.

Tickets for the event are currently available for purchase, with 15 percent of the proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association‘s Life is Why campaign. This year, the LA Art Show also plans to address the ongoing challenges faced by the community after L.A.’s recent wildfires. A portion of the ticket sales will support the California Community Foundation‘s Wildlife Recovery Fund, allowing attendees to contribute directly at the time of purchasing their tickets.

As a gesture of gratitude, firefighters and their families will be granted free entry to the fair. The event promises VIP access to an advanced preview of its cultural programming, showcasing exhibits from international galleries, museums, and nonprofit organizations.

Opening night festivities will include entertainment from local restaurants and brands, complemented by live mural creation by L.A. native Robert Vargas, who will honor first responders with a piece titled “Heroes.”

In a statement, Dewan expressed her pride in hosting the event and supporting such vital causes. “The people of our magical city are hurting, and I am especially honored to be supporting an event that is raising much-needed funds for two essential philanthropic organizations, the American Heart Association and the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund,” she said.

Kassandra Voyagis, producer and director of the LA Art Show, echoed Dewan’s sentiments. “This year is one like never before, as endless numbers of Angelenos, many who make a living from their art, are suffering from unimaginable losses as a result of the catastrophic wildfires last month. So in addition to helping raise money for the remarkable work of our annual beneficiary, the American Heart Association, we are proud that Jenna’s partnership will also amplify our fundraising efforts for the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund,” Voyagis stated.
