It's hard to think of a more crucial moment for Felix Art Fair than right now. Since its debut in 2018, the fair has championed the Los Angeles community with a culture-specific, approachable ethos that feels distinctly of its home city: laid-back, yet fervently engaged. It's this communal aspect of the fair that is more important than ever just weeks after the devastating Eaton and Palisade fires struck through the nearby Southern California neighborhoods...
Up the elevators, local tastemaker Megan Mulrooney is showcasing work by 70-year-old Los Angeles artist Nick Taggart. The gallerist, who opened her eponymous space last year, underscored how proud she is of the city’s collective efforts to support artists impacted by recent fires.
“Even if we were worried about it being light foot traffic, it felt important to be part of it and show that in solidarity, that we’re still here,” said Mulrooney. “Art unites. It brings people together. It’s a common place to discuss feelings and thoughts and also to lean in and talk about grief.”
