The County’s Civic Art Policy allocates 1% of the design and construction costs of County capital projects for civic art. Artworks are integrated into libraries, fire stations, health clinics, courthouses and numerous other County facilities. View Active Projects to see those projects currently underway. Completed projects can be found in the County's Collection.
The Policy was adopted in December 2004 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and revised on November 18, 2008.
Highlights of the Policy include:
-
Civic art program goals and objectives;
-
How projects are implemented;
-
Which capital projects are eligible for the civic art allocation; and
-
Allowable expenditures.
Originally a part of the Policy, the Civic Art Procedures were separated from the Policy in 2008 to allow for more flexibility in adapting procedures to current conditions. Included are procedures for:
-
Artist selection;
-
Financial management;
- Maintenance and conservation of artworks;
- Gifts and loans of artworks to the County; and
- Deaccessioning artworks from the County Collection.
