Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND CULTURE ANNUAL REPORT CIVIC ART FY 2018 - 2019 DIVISION 2 YEAR IN REVIEW 4 HIGHLIGHTS 6 CAPITAL PROJECTS 10 COUNTY COLLECTION 18 CROSS-SECTOR INITIATIVES 21 LIST OF PROJECTS 25 74 Projects actively managed PROJECT SUMMARY 21 New projects intiated FY 2018 - 2019 17 Projects completed CONTENTS 154 Projects completed since 2004 3 In 2004, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted the County’s first Civic Art Policy, which allocates one percent (1%) of design and construction costs of new County capital projects to a Civic Art Special Fund for the creation of civic artworks. The County’s Civic Art policy, program and fund is managed by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture (formerly the LA County Arts Commission), 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 five Supervisorial Districts in the unincorporated areas. In 2018 the Board of Supervisors made a historic vote to transition the Arts Commission to a full-fledged County Department. The newly established Department of Arts and Culture envisions LA County as a region where arts, culture and creativity are integral to all aspects of civic life for all people and communities. The Department has an expanded mandate to develop comprehensive policies and programs, including Civic Art, Grants, Arts Education, Professional Development, Career Pathways, Research and Evaluation, and Cultural Equity and Inclusion. For the Civic Art Division, a new period of creative expansion is underway. In addition to the growing number of County-funded capital projects managed each year, and which are documented in this report, the Division has continued its efforts to spearhead the proposed Public Art in Private Development Ordinance in the unincorporated areas of the County. The Public Art in Private Development Ordinance would allocate one percent of project costs from eligible private developments to fund public art or pay a fee associated with the project to be used to support and fund public art installations, cultural facilities, conservation, artistic and cultural services and programs within its district. The intent of the ordinance is to expand the County’s artistic and cultural resources by enhancing the environment and quality of life, and support the vital network of arts professionals who have a positive impact on the local economy. A draft ordinance was presented to the Regional Planning Commission on August 1, 2018, and November 28, 2018, and unanimously approved by the Commission on April 24, 2019. The Division looks forward to a final review of the ordinance by the Board of Supervisors in the coming year. YEAR IN REVIEW At the Department of Arts and Culture we believe that expanding the scope of Civic Art is not simply about quantity; it’s about enhancing the quality of artistic experiences that the public can access and enjoy in their own neighborhoods. 4 And one of the ways that the Division These artist residencies promote The resulting Fort Moore Time has distinguished itself as a leader of greater cultural understanding of the Capsule project was a public call innovation across the field of public art value of art to powerfully shape every for submissions that enabled is to introduce more multidisciplinary, aspect of our daily lives.

  • The Artist Creating a 150-Foot-Long Glass Rainbow
    The Artist Creating a 150-Foot-Long Glass Rainbow nytimes.com/2019/02/07/t-magazine/sarah-cain-san-francisco-airport.html By Alice Newell-Hanson February 6, 2019 The first paintings that Sarah Cain remembers admiring as a teenager were works by Joan Mitchell, Philip Guston and Robert Motherwell which, thanks to a public arts fund, lined the walls of an otherwise dismal underground mall in Albany, N.Y., not far from where she grew up, in Kinderhook. “My parents didn’t really take me to museums, so that is where I saw the first real art, mixed in with shops and a McDonald’s,” says Cain, who is now 40 and an established artist herself. In July, she will unveil a major public work of her own, a 150-foot-long series of 37 vividly colorful stained-glass windows, funded by the San Francisco Arts Commission, which she hopes will inspire passers-by in an equally unlikely setting: the new AirTrain terminal at the city’s international airport. Cain lived in San Francisco for 10 years in the late 1990s and early 2000s; she studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute, and later Berkeley, then stayed in the area, making ephemeral large-scale paintings inside the abandoned buildings where her artist friends squatted. The San Francisco airport installation, her first permanent public work, channels the outsider ethos of 1/3 those early pieces as well as the rainbow-colored prismatic compositions of her more recent paintings and drawings, but stained glass is a relatively new medium for her.

Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.

  • Fort Moore, Los Angeles, CA Mexican–American War
    1 Fort Moore, Los Angeles, CA Mexican–American War On August 13, 1846, early in the conflict, U.S. naval forces under Commodore Robert F. Stockton arrived at Los Angeles and raised the American flag without opposition. A small occupying force of 50 Marines, under Captain Archibald H. Gillespie, built a rudimentary barricade on what was then known as Fort Hill overlooking the small town. Siege of Los Angeles The harsh martial law of Captain Gillespie soon ignited a popular uprising among Californios and Mexicans led by General José María Flores beginning on September 22, 1846. Known as the Siege of Los Angeles, Californios assembled a force to retake Los Angeles. Gillespie's fifty marines were able to resist an initial attack on the government house in town and regrouped on Fort Hill, where they strengthened the fortification with sandbags and mounted their cannon. As time passed, the Californio forces opposing the U.S. takeover grew to just over 600 men, with several Californio citizens voicing opposition. General Flores offered an ultimatum: leave within 24 hours or face attack. Gillespie agreed to withdraw from Los Angeles, under safe passage, on September 30, 1846. On October 7, the U.S. forces regrouped, with Commodore Stockton sending 350 Americans, including 200 U.S. Marines, under U.S. Navy Capt. William Mervine, to retake Los Angeles. The marines were defeated in their attempt at the Battle of Dominguez Rancho, as Stockton's fleet fled south to San Diego. In December, U.S. Army forces under Captain Stephen W. Kearny were defeated by the Californio Lancers at the Battle of San Pasqual.
