This year’s Frieze LA comes at a time when community is not just celebrated but needed. Considering all of the devastation the city has faced since the wildfires, LA’s art community proves its resilience. With Rosetta and Balthazar Getty, Frieze hosted an exclusive reception in the Hollywood Hills with guests from different parts of the LA art community including figures from fashion, entertainment, and philanthropy. 

‍Violet Getty designed and launched T-shirts to contribute to the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund. Guests enjoyed cocktails from Maestro Dobel Tequila and shared their night with creative leaders like artists Kelly Akashi, Delfin Finley, Kohshin Finley, Alex Prager, Torbjørn Rødland, Frieze CEO Simon Fox, 2025 curator Essence Harden, and Getty President and CEO Katherine E. Fleming.

The welcoming reception for Frieze LA was followed by a weekend packed with breathtaking pieces of art that solidified and highlighted the Los Angeles art community and beyond. Among the attendees were some recognizable faces, including Julia Fox, Adrien Brody, Takashi Murakami, Kid Cudi, Tim Cook, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Anthony Kiedis, many of whom are artists themselves. The fair, which is held annually in February, continues to be successful as a celebration of art, artists, and the human connection.
