In 1979, Venice Family Clinic was on the verge of closing its doors until a group of Clinic supporters gathered with local artists and created the first-ever art walk to ensure we could continue providing vital medical services for the community.

Since its inception, Venice Family Clinic Art Walk & Auction has raised $23 million to provide comprehensive primary care to people who might otherwise have nowhere to get the help they need to get well and stay that way.

Starting as a storefront in Venice, the Clinic has grown to serve nearly 28,000 people at 12 sites in Los Angeles and through street outreach teams that extend our reach from Malibu to mid-city.
