Artadia hosted its fourth annual tennis tournament fundraiser at the Los Angeles Tennis Club on a Monday afternoon during Frieze Week. The event featured matches between artists, collectors, and co-chairs, raising $85,000 to fully fund all Artadia Award grants. Co-chairs included Zach Stafford, Aurele Danoff Pelaia, and Honor Titus, with participants such as artists Charles Gaines, Ariana Papademetropoulos, and Eamon Ore-Giron, along with dealers and patrons. Guests enjoyed a taco lunch, spritzes, and left with gift bags featuring a tote by Guillaume Berg.
The fundraiser matters because it directly supports Artadia's grant program, which provides unrestricted awards to visual artists across the United States. By raising the full amount needed for all grants in a single event, Artadia demonstrates a creative and effective model for arts philanthropy that blends social engagement with fundraising. The tournament also serves as a key social kickoff for Frieze Week in Los Angeles, strengthening connections between artists, collectors, dealers, and patrons in the local art community.
