Octavia Spencer, Matt Tolmach, and Paige Tolmach visit artworxLA

Written by Brenzy, Workshop Coordinator

Ahead of our 25th Annual Evening of Art, our artworxLA student presenters meet with the honorees they will be introducing during the gala's reward presentation. Our artworxLA students met author and actress, Octavia Spencer, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and activist Paige Goldberg Tolmach, and film producer Matt Tolmach. Each honoree shared their creative passions, their interest in supporting the arts community, and how the arts is ever present in supporting their lives. This special meeting built a lasting connection between our honorees and our students. 

With gratitude, we thank Paige Goldberg Tolmach, Matt Tolmach and Octavia Spencer for taking the time to connect our staff and student presenters. We are thrilled to be honoring each of them during our 25th Annual Evening of Art.
