Arts Month 2026

Supervisor Hilda L. Solis and the Board of Supervisors declared April 2026 as Arts Month—a time to remember the celebrate the power of the arts! Check out the resources and activities below! All of the artwork that’s featured is a part of the LA County Civic Collection, cared for by our Civic Art Division.

The LA County Civic Art Collection Website

In 2004, the Board of Supervisors adopted LA County’s first Civic Art Policy, which allocates one percent of design and construction costs of County capital projects to a Civic Art Special Fund. With those resources, the Department of Arts and Culture commissions and cares for original, site-specific artworks which are integrated into libraries, fire stations, health clinics, courthouses, and County facilities and become a part of the LA County Civic Art Collection. We are very excited to share a webpage that showcases thecollection! Accessed via any desktop or mobile browser, you can explore hundreds of artworks, which span many mediums and are located throughout the County. Each entry is accompanied by images and information, and users can search the collection by artist, title, location, or Supervisorial District. Our Civic Art Division also created an instructional navigation video that highlights the features and functionality of the new webpage. We're excited to share a resource that modernizes how the County preserves, manages, and shares its civic art collection!

We recommend exploring the short video below, which offers a helpful rundown of the digital collection and how to navigate it.
