The City of West Hollywood is like no other city in the world. In 1984, the idea for the City of West Hollywood was proposed by an unlikely coalition of LGBT activists, seniors, and renters. The first West Hollywood City Council in 1984 established West Hollywood as the first City in the nation to have a majority openly LGBTQ governing body, and the City has had an outsized impact on national public policy agenda. The City of West Hollywood's Arts Division promotes the arts through a diverse portfolio of art and cultural programs designed to engage and enrich the lives of residents and visitors.
