Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, LA River Public Art Project will off-set the Executive Director’s salary to expand outreach and advocacy, in order to collaborate with other community groups and arts organizations in efforts to preserve open space, create parks, and integrate arts/culture programming along the river.
Organization Summary
LA River Arts advocates for an arts and cultural infrastructure integral to the many revitalization projects along the river’s 51-mile corridor from Canoga Park to Long Beach. We believe that cultural projects are a dynamic way to share the river’s potential with a large public audience, and deepen community connections. Through art-based projects, our work has impacted the conversation on multiple levels. We have heightened the discussion about public space; tilted the conversation about the LA River toward community-driven social spaces; and demonstrated the confluence of nature, art, and play. Our efforts confirm the value of inclusionary art-based public projects, introduce artists and communities to each other, and envision a robust river cultural environment.
