ART & LEISURE 2025: A TENNIS TOURNAMENT TO BENEFIT ARTADIA


In light of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, we have decided to postpone Art & Leisure: A Tennis Tournament to Benefit Artadia. Considering the scope of loss and rebuilding, Artadia seeks to focus its immediate efforts on supporting the Los Angeles community, particularly those affected by displacement and loss. 

Art & Leisure, originally scheduled for February 18, will be moved to May at the Los Angeles Tennis Club. Please hold the dates of May 19 or 20 as we finalize the rescheduled event. We’ll be in touch with further details and ticketing information down the line.

In support of the LA creative community, Artadia is a founding contributor to the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund, led by The Getty and CCI, which will provide Los Angeles-based artists and arts workers affected by the fires with funds. Artadia has also compiled a list of resources and opportunities for financial assistance for those affected by the wildfires. We’ll be updating this page periodically as new opportunities emerge, and hope that it serves as a helpful resource.  

For those who would like to support Los Angeles directly, we invite you to make a donation to the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund for artists based in Los Angeles, or to the Artadia Sustaining Fund which offers one-time microgrants of $1,000 to Artadia Awardees and was activated this week. Our first round of Sustaining Fund grants are dedicated to our Awardees in Los Angeles. 

We are sending our thoughts out to Los Angeles at this time and look forward to reuniting with our community in May. 


Please join Artadia and each of our valuable partners and supporters, for a third community galvanizing LVBL tennis tournament and social gathering. 

This is a ticketed event with all proceeds benefiting the Artadia Awards program. All player and spectator ticket holders are invited to enjoy refreshments and a celebratory lunch on the overlooking terrace throughout the event.
