CIVIC ART

Since 2004 the Los Angeles County Arts Commission Civic Art Program has implemented over 40 civic art projects for a variety of County facilities. Projects range in size and are managed by a skilled staff dedicated to facilitating innovative projects while providing access to high-quality artistic experiences for the residents of Los Angeles County.



The La Crescenta Library dedication featured Fifth District Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, LA County Arts Commission Director Laura Zucker, Civic Art Director Greg Esser and artists Tim Gibbs and Evan Le Grande Wilson.



100 third graders from Leal Elementary celebrated the Spring Equinox with Kim Emerson at her newly installed Water Henge: H20 = Life in Cerritos.

A refurbished Rowan Dozier Bus Layover station opened to the public with a dedication ceremony on September 3, 2009.  First District Supervisor Gloria Molina celebrated with the community and artists Claudia Reisenberger and Franka Diehnelt of Merge Conceptual Design who created the mural It Leaves along the 150-foot retaining wall around the bus station.


The art glass wall by Anne Marie Karlsen at the new Lawndale Library has been named one of the Best Public Art Projects in U.S. by Americans for the Arts. Karlsen's Subdivisions is among forty works cited as "the most exemplary, innovative permanent or temporary public art works created or debuted in 2008" and was selected from more than 300 entries nationwide.
