ArtPORT LA is a sculpture park that provides an anchor for civic art at the Port of Los Angeles through artworks at scale, immersive exhibitions, and arts education themed around the ocean and natural environment.
ArtPORT LA will transform the Port of Los Angeles into an internationally-recognized artistic and cultural destination, enhancing civic beauty and connecting communities.
ArtPORT LA’s sculpture program will include works from world renown local, regional and international artists across multiple sites at Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro.
Sculptures in dialogue with the site will be exhibited through partnerships with local and international art institutions.
ArtPORT LA’s campus and administrative space will include an interactive digital media gallery and event venue, a makerspace for K-12 arts education, community classes and a neighborhood resource garden.
*Draft site plan for future development includes gallery and event venue, outdoor education and fabrication spaces and a community garden. Artworks in renderings are examples only.
A Port is more than a just a place for cargo and commerce, it is also a hub connecting cultures and ideas.
Los Angeles is a world-class destination for the arts, although it lacks a civic-scale sculpture park.
The Los Angeles waterfront is undergoing a transformation at the Port of Los Angeles, with more than $1 billion dollars of investment for infrastructure and public access, visited by two million cruise ship visitors annually.
ArtPORT LA will offer a multitude of audiences opportunities to experience the Port through art and environmental education.
