This is the first report from the Los Angeles County Arts Commission to begin the documentation of County artworks across districts and departments. Research began in 2006 and is ongoing. The report includes information on 68 historic artworks found to date. Public art in Los Angeles is directly related to the actions in December 2004 when the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed a Civic Art Policy mandating that 1% of eligible costs for new County capital projects and renovations over $500,000 be used to create public artworks. An additional mandate of the policy was to create a comprehensive survey of the civic artworks the County already possesses, to assess the condition of those works, to repair them if needed, and to provide the public with information about them.
