Frank LA Shines a Light on the City’s Most Controversial Topics

Every city has a story, but few are as rich in character as Los Angeles. Co-founded by LRXD chairman Patrick Gill, along with serial entrepreneur Alison Miller and California real estate developer Cindy Troesh, Frank LA is a candid discussion of the everyday happenings of the City of Angels, told through one of the world’s most powerful conversation starters — art.

Built from a collaboration of local artists and contributors from LA’s arts community, each multi-format issue of Frank LA works to highlight a single, often controversial city theme. Issue 001 begins by shining a light on the dichotomy of wealth and homelessness between LA’s most lavish areas and its most destitute — Skid Row. In addition to inspiring conversation, original works of art from Frank LA’s first issue were auctioned on paddle8.com to benefit LAMP Community.
