The massive Oakland Ghost Ship fire claimed the lives of 36 people in 2016 and now, nearly three years later, a verdict has been announced.

Those ABC7 News spoke with admit a little bit of art helps with the healing.

"I was nervous about coming. Not because of the piping, but the thought of seeing that sight for the first time, it's just horrifying," Billie Narver said.

One week after the tragedy, people are honoring the warehouse fire victims. "Artists understand what other artists lives are like, therefore by the grace of God go I and it was such a tragic event, I can't let my head go there," Oakland artist Ann Marie Hodrick said.
