Tierney Talks hosted the first TELETHON For Your Art at Frieze Los Angeles in February. We brought the talk show to the art fair and broadcasted live from the ForYourArt booth on the Paramount Pictures Studio backlot, all Frieze long. The result is this collection of 60+ interviews about art, entertainment and community in Los Angeles. We had so much fun! 

This episode celebrates a handful of places and community spaces for art in Southern California.
