The art scene in Los Angeles is a very unique world that always brings about works from some of the realm’s most celebrated and notable artists. This time around the art world has brought about a fundraiser to be held on February 8th at Smile & Wonder benefitting the beautiful Smile + Wonder preschool program that assists in enriching children’s lives so that they can grow and develop their brains healthfully.
