U2 guitarist The Edge and his wife, artist Morleigh Steinberg, will be honored at Venice Family Clinic's Inaugural HEART (Health + Art) Gala on May 11 at 3Labs in Culver City, California. Beck is set to perform at the event.
Steinberg and The Edge, longtime supporters of the Venice Family Clinic, will receive the inaugural HEART Award.
Between them, U2 and Beck have won 30 Grammy Awards, including three awards for album of the year – two for U2 and one for Beck.
Steinberg first became involved with U2 when she appeared in the 1987 music video for “With or Without You,” the band's breakthrough pop smash. She was hired as a choreographer during the band's Zoo TV tour in 1992 and 1993. Her personal relationship with The Edge began at the end of that tour. The couple married in 2002 and have two children together.
Venice Family Clinic will present the gala as part of Venice Family Clinic's 45th Annual Art Walk + Auction, which will be held in Venice, California, May 10-19. Founded in 1979, Art Walk + Auction established a culture that combined health and art and inspired the HEART Initiative.
Venice Family Clinic is a nonprofit community health center that provides comprehensive health care to more than 45,000 people in need annually, regardless of income, insurance or immigration status. The clinic serves an area from the Santa Monica Mountains through the South Bay in Los Angeles County.
