Honoring Health + Art Across Our Communities
Venice Family Clinic’s HEART (Health + Art) initiative celebrates the transformative power of creativity and compassion in advancing health care for all. Our inaugural HEART Gala brought together the artists, businesses and philanthropists who inspire us — champions of both imagination and community well-being.
Health and art have been part of our story since 1979, when volunteers and artists launched the Venice Family Clinic Art Walk + Auction (now the Venice Family Clinic Art Exhibition + Auction). What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a beloved Los Angeles tradition that continues to connect art lovers, supporters and neighbors in the spirit of giving.
Today, the HEART initiative builds on that legacy. We honor the creative and compassionate individuals who help expand access to medical, mental health, and other vital health care services. Together, we are making Los Angeles a healthier, more vibrant place for everyone.
In 2024, we presented the first HEART Award to Morleigh Steinberg and The Edge from U2, supporters of Venice Family Clinic who exemplify the spirit of HEART.
Together with HEART, we can bring health and wellness to people in need.
