Los Angeles is the creative capital of the world, so culture isn’t

an afterthought for us — it’s part of who we are, and it’s essential

to the health and happiness of our people. Art has extraordinary

power to transform perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors,

especially when it lives in places that are accessible to everyone.

We’re proud to invest in the creative expression that thrives in our

city, because it gives Angelenos more opportunities to exercise

their imaginations and inspire one another.

Mayor Eric Garcetti City of Los Angeles

“Los Angeles is the creative capital of the world…”

“Los Angeles is a kaleidoscope of cultural expression…”

Los Angeles is a kaleidoscope of cultural expression and creativity

colored by over 4 million residents and witnessed by over 50 million

visitors a year. Focused on community and belonging, our impact on

arts and culture is recognized not only nationally, but also globally,

inspiring the artist within us, and the world over.

This annual report is a reflection of the broad array of arts and

cultural programming the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA)

develops to build the kind of future we all need. United with our

partners, advocates, and alliances, we are strategically rooted in,

and unequivocally committed to, the values of: Inclusion, Diversity,

Equity, Excellence, and Access that inform our inclusive external

communications and intentionally collaborative initiatives.

This ensures we provide accessible, well-funded, well-managed, and

well-stewarded neighborhood arts centers, theaters, historic sites,

public art projects, grantee events, performances, and educational

initiatives for as many as possible, reinforcing our citywide arts

equity goals.

As a human-centered agency, DCA invites you to see a play, enjoy

a cultural festival, take a dance class, and witness the constantly

changing creativity reflected throughout our city!

Inclusive and representative high-quality arts and cultural

experiences are the hallmarks of the Community Arts Division. The

Division encompasses 35 neighborhood arts and cultural centers,

theaters, and historic sites serving young people and adults.

The centers and theaters are community hubs that are familiar

places for unique and highly-coveted art experiences and

educational programs staffed by dedicated full and part-time art

instructors. The historic sites are architectural treasures that are

carefully conserved for future generations to enjoy.

Music, dance, theater, and performance art thrive in LA through the

Performing Arts Program. The Program supports six theaters whose

productions play a vital role in reshaping attitudes, countering

cultural stereotypes, and inspiring creativity and conversation.

The division uses an independent, peer-review panel and a public

review process to select artists to create and present programming

and festivals at the theaters.

The Public Art Division creates relevant art that gives neighborhoods

a sense of space and belonging. The division engages residents

and visitors through five types of arts programs: the Public Works

Improvements Arts Program, the Private Arts Development

Fee Program, the Murals Program, the Art Exhibition Programs

at Los Angeles World Airports, and the City Art Collection.

Art in the public realm represents an invitation to engage. Murals are

neighborhood conversations; sculptures describe place; and music

festivals become destinations. Art becomes a remedy for walls and

fences. Each program enriches communities with cultural amenities,

giving a sense of ownership and pride for residents while defining

our city for visitors.
