Cultural Affairs

The mission of the Department of Cultural Affairs is to strengthen the quality of life in the City of Los Angeles by
stimulating and supporting cultural activities and ensuring access to such activities for residents and visitors to the City.
The Department advances the social and economic impact of the arts and ensures access to diverse and enriching
cultural activities through grant-making, marketing, fundraising and development, public art, community arts
programming and arts education, as well as through partnerships with artists and arts and cultural organizations in
neighborhoods throughout the City. The Department works in tandem with the Cultural Affairs Commission (CAC), a
seven-member advisory board appointed by the Mayor. The CAC's current work includes acting on behalf of the City's
residents to oversee the development of the built environment, specifically through design review of any building or
structure built on or over City property, including public art. The Commission also accepts works of art to be acquired by
the City.
