Frieze Los Angeles Projects
Three inspirational projects. Learn more about them, choose your favourite, and support them directly.
Kelp restoration in Santa Monica Bay with The Bay Foundation
The kelp forest ecosystems off the southern California coast are known to be some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the world. They are vital for providing habitat and food for over 700 marine species and protect neighbouring coastlines from erosion and pull in carbon dioxide from the ocean as they grow. Globally, kelp forests have been lost to sea urchins, which in great numbers consume and prevent the recovery of kelps. The Bay Foundation restores these kelp forests with teams of SCUBA divers. Kelp forests that have been lost for decades return to health within months of their efforts. Restoring kelp forests feeds humanity, provides for wildlife, and counters climate change.
Forest conservation for biodiversity and climate with Art into Acres
This project supports the conservation of 53,375 acres (21,600 hectares) of old-growth forest. The biodiverse landscape is a migration corridor and home to the Mountain tapir, Spectacled Bear, Bush Dog, Mountain Paca and Stumped Tailed Porcupine. In collaboration with Art to Acres, the funds raised will support local communities in conserving the lands on which they have historically lived. Art to Acres is an artist-founded, non-profit environmental initiative that partners with the cultural community for intersectional conversation and large-scale land conservation support. To date, the initiative has supported 32 million acres of new locally-led permanent protected areas and 814,203,000 tonnes of protected underground carbon.
Renewable cooking equipment in India with FairClimateFund
Cooking on biogas is better for health, climate and the environment and saves households time and money. This project gives households in rural India access to 100% renewable energy for cooking. The project is Fairtrade and Gold Standard certified, ensuring that a fair, minimum income is generated for the families it supports.

Green travel, eco-travel, conscious travel… call it what you want, but one thing’s for sure: as we all become more aware of our impact on our planet, we need to travel more sustainably. According to the latest sustainability report from Booking.com, 83% of global travellers now think sustainable travel is vital, while recent research from Expedia suggests that 90% of consumers look for sustainable options when they travel – and half would be willing to pay more for them.
The good news is that making a few simple changes can significantly reduce your impact as a traveller. Here’s how:
