Sawa is an event uniting artists from accross California, and featuring renowned Seattle muralist, Brady Black.

On February 23rd, we are thrilled to welcome renowned muralist, Brady Black, whose deep love for Lebanon inspired his countless murals all around Beirut. Brady will fly in from Seattle to create a live mural, here in Los Angeles—with your participation!

This interactive mural experience, taking place at The Vermont Hollywood, will be accompanied by an amazing lineup of Lebanese and local performers, all coming together from across the U.S. for this unique fundraiser.

Join us at The Vermont Hollywood, where we’ll celebrate our shared love for Beirut through creativity, art, music, and an evening of community and togetherness.

Proceeds from this event will go towards paying tuition for Lebanese women enrolling in adult education programs to build brighter futures. Additionally, in response to the devastating wildfires that struck Southern California last week, 20% of the proceeds will be dedicated to wildfire relief efforts.We promise a Sunday afternoon that will live rent-free in your memory for a while…

See you there!
