The mission of the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture is to advance arts, culture, and creativity throughout LA County. We fulfill our mission by providing services and support in areas including grants and technical assistance for nonprofit organizations; professional development opportunities; commissioning civic artworks and managing the County’s civic art collection; implementing countywide arts education initiatives; research and evaluation; career pathways in the creative economy; free community programs; and cross sector creative strategies that address civic issues. This work is framed by the County’s Cultural Equity and Inclusion Initiative and a longstanding commitment to fostering access to the arts.
Welcome to the inaugural LA County Department of Arts and Culture annual report! In the past, we've produced individual reports for a few of our divisions and the Countywide Cultural Policy, but we saw an opportunity to create a snapshot of the entire Department—our accomplishments last year, our impacts in communities across LA County, and our longstanding commitment to equity and access.
