Los Angeles Art Show 2022

There’s only one way to describe a showcase of this magnitude, AMAZING.

The LA Art Show was held January 19-23rd of 2022. Kaia Gerber, the model and actress, was the opening night’s premiere party official host. This is the 8th straight year that the LA Art Show has been giving overwhelming support for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. The theme this exhibit was modern and contemporary, and there were international exhibits from contemporary paintings and sculptures to NFT’s. All of these wonderful galleries contribute to the beneficiary, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital where 15% of the ticket sales are offered to the hospital so that they can continue on with funded research to help out children.

Kaia Gerber is a muse to many. She made her debut for the Young Versace ad campaign at the age often. Since then, she has worked with the likes of Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Isabel Marant, Loewe, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Versace, and countless other luxury brands. Having graced numerous international and US magazine covers, as well as being honored with the Daily Front Row’s 2017 Breakout Model of the year and the 2018 Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards, she has established herself in the new generation of fashion icons. Kaia has swiftly made her mark, working with celebrated photographers like Steven Meisel, Inez & Vinoodh, Craig McDean, Mikael Jansson, and David Sims. She has been the face of campaigns for Marc Jacob’s Beauty and the brand’s Daisy fragrance since 2016 and has been a brand ambassador for OMEGA as of 2017. In 2018 Gerber became the face of YSL Beauté and partnered with the late Karl Lagerfeld to create the Kaia x Karl collection which combined Lagerfeld’s iconic Parisian chic with Kaia’s laid-back California style.

In addition to modeling, Gerber is also pursuing her passion for acting. She recently appeared in two episodes of Ryan Murphy’s new episodic anthology series “American Horror Stories” and also starred in Season 10 of “American Horror Story: Double Feature.”

Kaia also uses her social media platform to share her love of literature with her six million followers on Instagram during her Book Club. Her unique position as a model and social media favorite has ignited an interest in reading for many, a rare commodity during an age polluted by technology. To educate herself and her followers about the goings-on of the world, she lends her platforms to others. Notably, she and her friend Janaya Future Khan, international ambassador for Black Lives Matter, went live on Instagram to discuss white privilege, protesting, and the BLM mission.

This was my 3rd year covering the LA Art Show, and really all I can say is WOW. All the exhibits are worth taking the time to walk through and give a look, but this time I was able to stop and talk to some of the curators of the exhibits as I was walking through. See here below.
