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.
