Gander & White Los Angeles, one of the leading art shippers and logistics providers in California, is delighted to announce a new environmentally-friendly partnership with two South California high schools. The company is now donating timber off-cuts from its bespoke fine art crate-making workshop to woodworking programs at South Pasadena High School and Bell High School. This ‘green’ initiative means that material that would have once been sent to landfill will now be used in a much more constructive way, in aid of local teenagers’ education.
The partnership was instigated by the Director of Gander & White Los Angeles, George Lacovara, whose son attends the school. After hearing that Eef Vanlersel, teacher at South Pasadena High School, needed supplies for his woodworking program, Lacovara quickly realized that Gander & White LA was perfectly placed to help out by providing the school with wood. After discussing the school’s requirements with Vanlersel, a truck of wood supplies was delivered to the school the next day. Following this, Gander & White reached out to Hugh Creamer at Bell High School to arrange the same deal. It has been agreed that Gander & White LA will provide wood to these schools whenever possible.
Lacovara comments: “We are very excited to set up these connections with two local high schools, to contribute to the local community in this way and also make sure the wood we don’t use is recycled effectively. We’re looking to eliminate wood wastage and we would certainly consider more relationships like these with other schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District”.
This initiative forms part of Gander & White’s broader green strategy being enacted across its global facilities in the USA and Europe.
When thinking about the international art market Miami is probably best know for Art Basel Miami Beach - and that was indeed the driving factor for setting up Gander & White Miami over twenty years ago. But beyond this, Miami has an abundance of beautiful houses - and with beautiful houses comes a wide range of fabulous Interior Designers. Here Joe Piotrowski who was instrumental to setting up our Miami branch gives his thoughts on why working with a fine art logistics provider should be a given for all of them.
New York art fair week is always one of our busiest times of the year; with our regular workload continuing alongside two major art fairs, meticulous planning and strategising is required to ensure that everything runs like clockwork. Here Francis Petit who started his Gander& White career working out of our Paris office and now heads up our New York operations shares his thoughts and reflections on how our teams manage an array of moving parts to allow all deadlines to be met on schedule.
To mark the first anniversary of the devastating forest fires that tore through Los Angeles and other parts of California, George Lacovara shared his thought on the extraordinary resilience of both Los Angeles itself and it's residents.
