The LA Art Show is pleased to announce its selection of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as benefiting charity of its opening night premiere party, 8-11 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015, in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S. Figueroa St.

A Patron Reception will begin at 7 p.m., and the LA Art Show will be open to the public in the same location from Jan. 15-18.

Amy Adams and Darren Le Gallo will host the benefit.

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Thanks to support from events like this one, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

“We are excited to partner with St. Jude at the 20th Anniversary LA Art Show,” said Kim Martindale, general manager and producer of the LA Art Show. “By sharing their knowledge freely and exchanging ideas openly, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital inspires more collaboration between doctors and researchers worldwide, and as a result, more lifesaving treatments for children everywhere.”

More than 7,000 art patrons attended in 2014. Guests included: Leonard Di Caprio, Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez, Tim Robbins, James Franco, Barbra Streisand, James Brolin, Shepard Fairey, Mayor Eric Garcetti, Lily Collins, Michelle Monaghan, Debra Wilson, Princess Anita Theodora of Orange-Nassau, Gabrielle, Duchess of Schoeneberg, Councilmember Tom LaBonge, Kevan Hall, Hill Harper, Robert LaSardo, Bria Murphy, Willem van Gogh, James DuMont, Alex Lombard, Sue Wong, Michael Peer, Toni Garrn and Abdulla Ali Saboosi, Consul General for the U.A.E., among others.

Patron tickets are $250, Vanguard tickets are $200 and Friend tickets are $125. The show is open to the public from Jan. 15-18, 2014. General admission is $20.
