LA Commons engages communities in the creation of public art that tells their unique stories  and serves as the basis for dialogue, interaction, and a better understanding of Los Angeles.

Stories

Everyone has a story to tell. Our art creation process begins when we gather artists, youth and community members to share stories and reflect on their neighborhoods. Such spaces enrich our sense of community, deep appreciation of neighbors, and the wealth of knowledge and experience among storytellers. These cultural connections inform the theme and artwork designs. 

LA Commons builds community, enhances the sense of belonging and encourages stronger ties between the people and places of Los Angeles.
