Veronica Beard Gives Back Program | Palisades Village
Palisades Village clothing store Veronica Beard will donate a portion of sales from every online transaction to the Lung Cancer Research Foundation through the end of the year as part of the brand’s Gives Back program.
This year’s quarterly partnership, in place from October through December, is between Veronica Beard and Reina Honts and the Lung Cancer Research Foundation, which “has been on the forefront of funding groundbreaking research in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, with the ultimate goal of a cure,” according to a statement about the partnership.
“We are proud to partner with LCRF this quarter for VB gives back,” Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard shared in the statement. “The reality that twice as many women die from lung cancer than breast cancer is staggering. As women with family members or friends who have suffered at the hands of this disease, we are committed to helping find a cure.”
In addition to a portion of sales being donated, for every one of the brand’s new, non-medical gingham face masks purchased in stores and online, Veronica Beard will donate one mask to LCRF.

‘Topanga Canyon Studio Tour Reimagined’ | Topanga
Topanga Canyon Art Gallery presents “Topanga Canyon Studio Tour Reimagined,” which opened on Saturday, October 17, and runs through November 8.
Each year, the gallery presents the tour, featuring 40-plus artists, according to a press release about the exhibit. In a typical year, half are members of the gallery and the other half is comprised of local artists that participate in the event to present their work once per year.
In 2020, the focus will be on the “guest artists of the Studio Tour.”
“The challenges of this year have asked us to separate the important from the disposable,” the press release continues. “It’s not just prioritizing—it’s what are we keeping and what we are letting go. The artists of Topanga don’t even need to ask the question. Art is staying—and specifically, the annual Topanga Artist Studio Tour is staying.”
Artists will present their pieces online and in-person, with viewing hours of 12 to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The gallery is located at 120 N Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Suite 109.
