Since its incorporation in 1984, the City of West Hollywood has made a strong commitment to providing accessible arts and cultural events programming for its residents and visitors.
On January 5, 1987, the City formed the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission (originally called the Fine Arts Commission) to identify the arts needs of the community, analyze methods of fulfilling these needs, and promote activities to broaden the opportunities for citizen participation in the arts.
Working in conjunction with other City departments, constituents and local nonprofit arts organizations, the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission oversees a number of projects and programs to meet the City's mandate to broaden citizen participation in the arts.
