2025 Past Events
Here are some of the events that Barbara Lazaroff helped with, spoke at, or supported in 2025.
Project Angel Food – Angel Art
Join Project Angel Food for Cocktails & Bites lovingly served by our dedicated Angel volunteers to celebrate the power of art and community to heal and inspire.
Project Angel Art is an acclaimed benefit auction. 100% of proceeds benefiting the vital work of Project Angel Food.
This pivotal event — in partnership with the international auction house Bonhams — unites the art community to support critically ill individuals in the aftermath of the devastating Los Angeles fires. The fires have displaced residents and intensified challenges for the city’s most vulnerable.
Since January 7, Project Angel Food has added hundreds to our services — a 10% surge — a number expected to grow even more as the health risks from the fires persist. We are here before, during, and after every crisis.
Among the highlights are contributions from four artists who, despite losing their homes or being displaced due to the fires, have donated works and continue to champion the spirit of creativity and transformation.
Alexandra Grant, Honorary Chair, reflected: “What Project Angel Food does every day and in days of crisis is the same — care, nourish, and feed people. Your support can help bring more deserving clients into the PAF community over a longer term. Food is LOVE!”
The art for auction features world-renowned artists including:
Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari, Robert Rauschenberg, Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Misrach, Peter Alexander, Jeff Koons, Louise Nevelson, Jim Dine, Herb Ritts, William Wegman, and Shepard Fairey, among others…
As well as emerging artists Awol Erizku, Carmen Argote, Nao Bustamante, Todd Gray, and many more.
These artists, each a pioneer in their respective mediums and movements — from Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism to conceptual photography and street art — have collectively shaped the contours of contemporary art, leaving an indelible mark on both the Californian and global art scenes.
