Cedars-Sinai joins art community leaders in supporting artists and arts workers who were affected by the recent and ongoing fires in Los Angeles
The 2025 Los Angeles fires have destroyed more than 12,000 homes and businesses, including those of artists and other art workers. The devastating loss galvanized the community to support those who have lost so much. Among other initiatives, Cedars-Sinai is proud to host Recover, an art exhibit to benefit the affected art community.
For five days, the Cedars‑Sinai Thalians Health Center will provide a venue for local artists impacted by the fires to showcase and sell their artwork—and 100% of those sales go directly to the artist. Cedars‑Sinai will also have artworks from its collection available for purchase to support the relief funds—and 100% of sales from the Cedars‑Sinai collection will benefit Grief and Hope Los Angeles.

Overview of the Cedars-Sinai Art Collection
Launched more than 50 years ago with the support of a generous donor, the Cedars-Sinai art collection has helped patients and the community through the healing power of art. The art collection was established to inspire imagination, reduce stress and promote wellness. Since its inception, it has grown to more than 5,000 pieces of donated art, including works by Ed Ruscha, Romare Bearden, David Hockney, Roy Lichenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and Betye Saar, as well as sculptures by Jonathan Borofsky and Claes Oldenburg—resulting in a world-class collection of contemporary fine art. Today, the medical center’s Advisory Council for the Arts, made up of fine-art enthusiasts and art professionals review every work offered to the medical center. You can sign up for a tour of the art collection here.
