Los Angeles area residents woke up earlier this month to the news that thousands of homes and entire neighborhoods had been burned to ash in massive wildfires., devastating Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Although both neighborhoods are on opposite ends of the county, they are known hubs for many of the city’s creative community.
Some artists lost their life’s work in LA wildfires.
Altadena, Calif. residents, like rapper Fat Tony, woke up Wednesday to news that thousands of homes had been reduced to ashes. Now, the muisician is looking to rebuild and replace the music equipment he lost to the Eaton Fire. “Everything’s gone,” Obi said. “All of my stuff that is related to Fat Tony music that was in that house is gone, and it was the motherlode of it.”The conceptual artist was forced to flee her Pacific Palisades neighborhood as smoke drew near, the second time in four years she’s had to escape a wildfire.“I’ve already experienced one home being burned. I think you have a different focus after that. Maybe we become a little bit less attached to material things.
“Our primary goal is getting people triage money for just whatever the most emergent need is,” said Pittman. For Grief and Hope, creating a more sustainable future for artists throughout the city begins with affordable studio spaces and housing.For photographer Joy Wong, losing her home of eight years meant losing the beauty of Altadena. She describes the overall area as “a pocket of heaven.”
