Post-Fire 1

Post-Fire 1 is the first installment of an annual group show, planned for the next 4 years at 6006 Washington Blvd in Culver City. The intent of the Post-Fire series is to showcase and support artists who have experienced the traumatic loss of homes and studios. As a testament to their unbreakable spirit, impacted artists have continued to produce works despite enormous obstacles—taking care of family while grieving, determining how to proceed, replacing equipment and finding a place to create and live, mountains of insurance paperwork, and in some instances, decades of artwork rendered to ash. Post-Fire 1 highlights recent works created by 22 artists from the Altadena area. These works have been made primarily after the devastation of the Eaton fires. Our unifying theme was that artists show what they would like to show—in sculpture, painting, photography and video. All proceeds from sales will go to the artists, with Des Artistes taking no sales commission. Post-Fire 1 launches March 13, 2026 and runs for 10 weeks. It will be open weekly from Wednesday through Sunday, 1 - 6 PM. We will host an artist panel, music event and print release during the run of the exhibit. Post-Fire 1 extends the efforts of the Los Angeles art community, which came together in the wake of the 2025 fires. Much of the work in this show is thanks to generous financial aid, studio spaces, and previous group shows that were created in response to the crisis. The Post-Fire exhibitions look to continue this support into the future, fostering consistent opportunities for affected artists to have a space to showcase the development of their practices.

In Berlin opening this June, super excited to be apart of Scope Berline and thrilled to show with “Tri-Cluster”.

Massive thank you to CACtTUS for including me with Ruth Gallery along with Adam Rabinowitz and Jorge Mujica in our “Tri-Cluster” for Scope Berlin.

The installation features three independent artists from Los Angeles: Caitlin Ross, Adam Rabinowitz, and curator Jorge Mujica. Each brings a unique perspective on color and space, creating a mesmerizing interplay of conceptual and physical dimensions.

This exhibition marks the beginning of the Berlin-Los Angeles-Mexico art exchange. The journey starts at Scope Berlin, then moves to Mexico City and Los Angeles, fostering artistic collaboration and growth.

It spans three years, uniting 54 art collectives for 18 joint projects across these vibrant cities. Join us for exhibitions, screenings, performances, readings.
