On Wednesday, February 14th, on the International Day of Love, The LA Art Show hosted its Opening Night Premiere Party in support of the American Heart Association to kick off the 2024 Los Angeles art season. The event was hosted by celebrated actress Lucy Hale, and the city’s largest and longest running art fair. NFL player Damar Hamlin, whose terrifying experience suffering cardiac arrest on the field last year dominated global news, attended and joined Lucy on stage during the American Heart Association presentation. Reality TV star Francesca Farago and fiancé Tik Tok sensation Jesse Sulli looked loved up on the carpet as they celebrated Valentine’s Day at the LAAS Opening Night Premiere Party.

Lucy was introduced to the LA Art Show by its inaugural charity beneficiary, the American Heart Association, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. As the evening’s host and friend of AHA, Lucy took to the stage and spoke about the important work the American Heart Association is doing for their Life is Why campaign, which inspires consumers to honor their reasons for living longer, healthier lives. LA Art Show Producer & Director Kassandra Voyagis, American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown and AHA survivor family Danielle and Chandler Armstead also spoke during the heartwarming presentation. LA Art Show will donate 15% of all ticket proceeds to the American Heart Association’s Life Is Why™ Campaign. The evening’s sponsors included Citibank and Nextdoor.
