opa projects is proud to present Out of LA : Contemporary Voices, a powerful group exhibition spotlighting the contemporary art scene of Los Angeles in the wake of the devastating wildfires that struck Southern California in January 2025. Running from July 10 through September 26, the exhibition features the work of eight LA-based artists, some of whom were directly affected by the fires.
Through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, Out of LA : Contemporary Voices explores themes of survival, regeneration, and cultural vibrancy amidst destruction. Among the featured artists is Cleon Peterson, who tragically lost both his home and studio during the fires. The exhibition also includes seminal works by Ed Ruscha, Kenny Scharf, Kour Pour, Emily Ferguson, Nicolas Shake, Jessica Taylor Bellamy, and Zoe Walsh — voices that together form a diverse and vital portrait of Los Angeles’ artistic
“This exhibition is both a tribute and a call to attention,” says gallery director Billy
Tartour. “We want to honor the strength and resilience of artists whose lives and
practices were deeply impacted, and to highlight the cultural force that continues to
rise from the ashes of crisis.”
opa projects, known for its commitment to emerging and established contemporary voices, aims to foster dialogue between art communities across coasts. Out of LA : Contemporary Voices marks a significant moment of solidarity between Miami and Los Angeles, both cities shaped by creative risk-taking and environmental vulnerability.
A portion of proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to recovery funds supporting artists affected by the California wildfires.
