April is Arts Month!—a time to reflect on the power and impact of creativity, but also a call to band together for the arts in challenging times. I’m grateful to the Board of Supervisors for their support, including two motions that reaffirm its commitment to the arts. The LA County Civic Art Policy, which now celebrates its 20th anniversary, is a shining example of that commitment. It empowers our Civic Art Division to commission new works from community-minded artists, and expand the LA County Civic Art Collection. This month, we partnered with LA County Library to showcase artworks at libraries across LA in the Civic Art Passport and highlight artists in the Collection in special programs.
