The County’s Civic Art policy is managed by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, through its Civic Art Division, to commission socially engaged civic artworks, as well as support conservation efforts, artistic and cultural services, and an evolving array of programming throughout the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County in all five Supervisorial Districts. On July 1, 2019 the agency formally operating as the Arts Commission officially stepped into its new role as the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, ushering in exciting new potential for the Civic Art Division. Amid the division’s development of the Public Art in Private Development Ordi- nance, the planning and implementation of innovative new projects, and the reimagining of the County’s Civic Art Collection, the devastating impacts of the coronavirus pandemic began to surface and the gallant efforts of the Black Lives Matter movement reshaped our focus.

As part of a occupations project’s closeout process, artists were asked to complete a form indicating the number of were hired people they hired in each occupation category.

This allowed us to use SOC data to analyze characteristics of those art projects occupations.
