We are thrilled to announce our 2023 Venice Family Clinic Art Walk + Auction Signature Artist, Charles Gaines. Gaines is a pivotal figure in the field of Conceptual Art, an educator, and a philanthropist-activist. He recently retired from the CalArts School of the Arts where he was on faculty for over 30 years and established a fellowship to provide critical scholarship support for Black students in the M.F.A. Art program.
Gaines has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in the United States and internationally, and his work is in prominent public collections around the world. We’re honoring him this year because he is an incredible artist, a compassionate citizen, and a generous neighbor.
“Centuries of racism have caused significant disparities in health outcomes among Black and Brown people.
If we are going to heal–as individuals, as communities, and as a country–we must confront this truth with compassion and action.
I’m proud to join Venice Family Clinic staff, donors, volunteers, artists and activists who work tirelessly to dismantle health inequities and provide health care for all.”
– Charles Gaines
