About this event
Dear JOAN Friends,
Please join us on Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 4–7 pm at Cooper Studios in Downtown Los Angeles for the 4ever JOAN Benefit Party, a special afternoon celebrating and supporting JOAN.
For eleven years, JOAN has been shaped and sustained by the artists, audiences, collaborators, and supporters who make our work possible. The Benefit provides vital support for JOAN’s artist-driven exhibitions, commissions, performances, public programs, and publications. We would love to celebrate with you!
Enjoy performances by Girl Debord and Rotten Sun: Cielo Saucedo, Jester Bulnes, Jesus Gallegos Yela, and Jazmin Jazzy Romero, with sound by BROWNSKINHAZEL, food by Russell Hartling, and an artist-designed cocktail by Olivia Mole.
This year’s benefit will feature a Silent Auction of one-of-a-kind Artist Experiences, from studio visits and shared meals to workshops and intimate gatherings. Participating artists and experiences will be announced ahead of the fundraiser, with bidding during the event.
Tickets, supporter packages, and a limited number of specially priced Community Tickets for artists and art workers are now available through the Tickets & Donations button above.
Each supporter package includes a direct contribution to the newly launched 4ever JOAN Artists Fund, 🍯 which will direct more resources toward artist fees, production budgets, new commissions, exhibitions, and public programs in 2027.
