Dr. Ami Oren Day Job: Dr. Ami Oren works as a physician at University of SouthernCalifornia Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine and has researchinterests in microbicidal peptides and innate immunity.

What brought you to volunteer? The need to use every bit ofknowledge and ingenuity, every improvisation…to provide high qualitycare with minimum means.

What does providing service to those in need mean to you?Finding the ways and means to provide this care to the patients is still the most excitingand rewarding engagement for me, as a physician.

Dr. Eric MillsteinDay Job: Dr. Eric Millstein is a board certified orthopedic surgeonand a leading expert in advanced arthroscopic techniques for kneeand shoulder surgery. While Dr. Millstein specializes in surgicalreconstruction and repair of orthopedic injuries, he emphasizes a thorough evaluation of all treatment options when developingindividualized treatment plans for his patients.

What brought you to Venice Family Clinic? My internist, Dr. Myles Spar, shared his vast experience at Venice Family Clinic and I expressed tohim my interest in doing volunteer work. He introduced me to Dr. Karen Lamp and I was immediately interested after talking with these two amazing people.

What does providing service to those in need mean to you? I only wish I coulddo more for the patients I see. Most patients wait a long time to see an orthopedicsurgeon and still leave the office with a smile and gratitude. This experience has mademe all the more grateful to both the physicians that treat me and my family as well as my full-time colleagues at Venice Family Clinic.

Dr. Nancy SicotteDay Job: Dr. Nancy L. Sicotte is the Vice Chair for Education,Director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neurology Residency Programsin the Department of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center andis a Professor in Residence, Department of Neurology, at the DavidGeffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles.

What brought you to Venice Family Clinic? I was intrigued tohear about the clinic from Dr. Barbara Vickrey who was a volunteer.

I have been coming to a monthly Thursday evening Neurology clinic since 1997. I feltI was carrying on the UCLA tradition. Over the years I was fortunate to work withwonderful colleagues and to keep the tradition going, introducing other UCLA andCedars-Sinai neurologists to the clinic during their residency training.

What does providing service to those in need mean to you? Providing care tothose in need is the ultimate expression of being a physician…The limited resources atthe clinic also make me a better neurologist - I have to really use the old fashioned toolsof medicine, taking a good history, listening closely and doing a careful exam.

What happens when physicians decide to volunteer for a good cause?

Turns out, quite a lot.

The Venice of the 1970s looked very different from the Venice of today. Many residents were low-income and it was sometimes referred to as the “Slum by the Sea.” It was grittyand the locals liked it that way – wanting to preserve a place where those without meanscould survive.

Polyurethane skate wheels had just been invented and Venice’s youth took to the streets.The rag-tag kids helped put Venice on the map and the “Slum by the Sea” became known as “Dogtown”. Always a haven for artists, the streets of Venice brightened with colorfulmurals painted on buildings throughout the city. Made famous by Jim Morrison and TheDoors posing for an album cover in front of a Venice mural, music fans were also attractedto the neighborhood.

During the 1970s, Venice Family Clinic provided health care to many of these streetwisekids, struggling artists and their neighbors and friends. Started by volunteers, the Clinic wasthe one place people knew they could go for quality and compassionate care. The doctorsdidn’t have to provide service; they wanted to provide service.

In 1979, young painter Arturo Mallmann moved to California from Argentina. He didn’thave a doctor or insurance and found himself seeking care at Venice Family Clinic. Thatwas the year Venice Art Walk began.

The idea for what would become an annual event was the brainchild of Irma Colen whowanted to help the fledgling Venice Family Clinic. What better way to help our communitythan to bring together our community, they thought. The group included Ruth Bloom,Mona Coleman, Marj Fasman, Sheila Goldberg, Freya Ivener, Meg Ross Price,Elaine Stone and Adele Yellin. They reached out to local artists to donate their work andopen their studios, and Art Walk was born.

Why did you get involved inVenice Art Walk & Auctions?

Venice ArtWalk

“Venice Family Clinic provides aservice that is greatly needed inLos Angeles. As a Venice residentfor the past 8 years, I have closelyadmired Venice Family Clinic andthe Art Walk’s untiring support of healthcare for people in need. This is especially needed in acountry where there is suchdisparity in the healthcare system.The Art Walk continues to getstronger each year and I amhonored to be a part of it.”

Claressinka Anderson, galleristand 2014 Curatorial Committee

"Without art my health suffers,without health I see no art"

Kristy Campbell, artist and 2014 Steering Committee

“In the beginning, we were lookingfor ways to become more involvedin supporting our community. We heard about the Clinic whichis located about a mile away fromwhere we live. At the time, theClinic’s largest fundraising activityevery year was the Venice ArtWalk, including a large silentauction of artwork. We werealready passionate supporters oflocal contemporary artists so wethought it would be a great way to combine our desire to help thecommunity with our love of art.”

Mike Muttera, collector and2014 Steering Committee

“I think of Venice Family Clinic as being a kind of ‘Red Cross’ forpeople who cannot get adequateand much needed medical care.These are families that in manycases work in our businesses andlive in our community but due toever rising costs cannot keep up.Healthy communities must havehealthy citizens from all walks oflife. The Clinic gives ‘the haves’the opportunity to make sure noone has to go without care.”

Robert Schwan, artist,restaurateur and 2014 CuratorialCommittee

“I remember a very persuasive Sheila Goldberg banging on mystudio door telling me I should participate in Art Walk,” said iconicVenice artist Laddie John Dill. “They were on to something. VeniceFamily Clinic is one of the important elements that make thiscommunity whole. Without the clinic, I believe we would lose animportant element vital to our communities’ uniqueness.”

Over the years the Art Walk gained momentum drawing in morevisitors and even more noteworthy artists, including former patientArturo Mallman. “Becoming involved with Art Walk has been awin/win situation for me. I was able to give back to Venice FamilyClinic while also getting exposure for my artwork. It is an event I look forward to every year.”

As we celebrate the 35th year of Venice Art Walk & Auctions onMay 18th, we bring together artists who have been involved sincethe very beginning, but also a group of emerging artists who areequally committed to Venice Family Clinic. One artist, AnaliaSaban, who was mentored by artist John Baldessari and hastaken up residence in his former Santa Monica studio added,“Supporting Venice Art Walk & Auctions to benefit Venice FamilyClinic, which gives access to health care, a fundamental need foreveryone, is a way of helping ourselves by building a communitywe are proud to live in.”

What drew you to Venice Family Clinic?My husband, Frederick R. Weisman, his philanthropic foundation,and I were introduced to the Clinic in the late 1980’s. We were sotouched by the wonderful services the Clinic, its staff and volunteersprovided to the community. It was impossible not to want to beinvolved.

What is it about Venice that makes it a hub for creators?Many artists and entertainers reside in Venice Beach. As with SoHoand Chelsea in New York, creative individuals tend to like a lessconventional lifestyle which Venice offers. The proximity to theocean for surfing and relaxation, as well as the great weathermakes Venice a desirable enclave for creativity.

What are the top must-see studios or exhibitors during the Venice Art Walk?The studio visits can be like a treasure hunt regardless of whatroute you follow. You have the chance to meet many artists andvisit their studios and homes; some are even located on the canalsof Venice. This is an opportunity to discover residential LA by footas well as artists you may or may not have ever heard of.

What advice do you have for first-time buyerslooking to begin an art collection?Follow your instincts. Buy what you like, however it is alwayshelpful to have looked at contemporary art at galleries or museumsbefore you hit the studios.

Have you come across any new and innovative trends in art from LA creators?The entire world is currently opening their eyes to the creativity inCalifornia and specifically Los Angeles. The LA artists, much likethe Impressionist artists who painted in the South of France, arehighly influenced by the special vibrant light and colors. The LAartists are also influenced by the slick surfaces of surfboards andcars, hence we have many artists introducing new techniques andmaterials into their creative process.

Are there any young, up-and-coming talents that have caught your eye recently?There are many young and up-and-coming talents in LA but whatis right for me may not be right for you. We all have to look andsee what works for us individually and not just buy because it isthe fashionable thing or financially wise thing to do.

What could the world learn from how the city of Venice approaches and shares art?There is so much we can all learn from the creativity and generosityof the artists who so willingly give back to their community by sharing their art and studios, and getting involved with thewonderful work of Venice Family Clinic and its many volunteers.The artists experiment with elements from their environment andhave shown us creativity in a different way than others havetraditionally shown us.
