The Art Of Elysium 13th Annual Heaven Gala At The Hollywood Palladium

The Art of Elysiumโ€™s annual HEAVEN is an artistic installation curated by some of the worldโ€™s leading and most renowned luminaries. Each year, The Art of Elysium celebrates a chosen visionary who creates their idea of โ€œHeaven on Earthโ€ as it relates to the charities four main disciplines: fashion & design, fine arts, music & movement, and theatre & film. The Art of Elysium was founded in 1997 to support artists working for the benefit of others. For over twenty years, theyโ€™ve paired volunteer artists with communities in Los Angeles to support individuals in the midst of difficult emotional life challenges like illness, hospitalization, displacement, confinement, and/or crisis. They also serve medically fragile children, teens, adults, seniors, those dealing with social, emotional and mental health issues, and the homeless. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper
