A Port is more than a place for cargo and commerce; it is also a hub connecting cultures and ideas. 

ArtPORT LA is a global sculpture program anchoring civic art at the Port of Los Angeles with artworks at scale, immersive exhibitions, and arts education.

ArtPORT LA will enhance civic beauty and community connectivity, transforming the Port of Los Angeles into a place for internationally-recognized artistic and cultural exchange, leaving a legacy for future generations.

The Los Angeles waterfront is undergoing a transformation at the Port of Los Angeles:

  • $1 billion real estate investments and infrastructure improvements

  • San Pedro is a multi-cultural community of 83,000 residents

  • Designated one of California’s 14 Cultural Districts

  • #1 container port in the United States

  • 2 million annual cruise ship visitors

A Port for Art

Los Angeles is a world-class destination for the arts which lacks a civic-scale sculpture park. 

We found the perfect place at a 25 acre under-resourced public park at the Los Angeles waterfront to exhibit works by the finest international and regional artists.

22nd Street Park is the primary site for large-scale art installations as recommended in the Port-commissioned Connectivity Plan. View public art related highlights of the plan here.

We are committed to a sustainable model of public-private partnerships and resource sharing that revitalizes civic spaces, inspires local and global audiences, and leaves a legacy for future generations.
