Hale, whose credits include Pretty Little Liars, Puppy Love, and Vertical’s hit The Hating Game, can next be seen in Decal’s upcoming romantic drama Which Brings Me To You opposite Nat Wolff and will be released January 19th. Lucy is a longtime supporter of arts & culture and will be a first-time host of the LA Art Show, the city’s largest and longest running art fair, currently in its 29th year. Previous years’ celebrity hosts have included Kaia Gerber, Jon Hamm, Kate Beckinsale, Emma Roberts, Sofia Vergara, Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway, Rita Ora, and Ashley Tisdale.

“We’re grateful to Lucy Hale for joining us as the official host of the 2024 LA Art Show Opening Night Premiere Party,” said Kassandra Voyagis, LA Art Show Producer and Director. “Ms. Hale’s support and influence will encourage and inspire a new generation of art collectors and shine light on the important work of the American Heart Association, which funds research that improves health outcomes for heart disease and stroke patients as well as supports lifesaving CPR education.”

“It’s an honor to host the 2024 LA Art Show Opening Night Premiere Party and bring further awareness to a beautiful evening that unites the importance of art, culture and philanthropy,” said Lucy Hale. “On a personal note, I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the American Heart Association whose mission touches people all across the world.”

Lucy was introduced to the LA Art Show by its inaugural charity beneficiary, the American Heart Association, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. The American Heart Association’s Life Is Why cause marketing campaign inspires consumers to honor their reasons for living longer, healthier lives.
