A port is more than a place for cargo and commerce;
it is a hub connecting cultures, ideas, and people.


ArtPORT LA is creating Southern California’s only world-class contemporary sculpture park on 25 acres of public land at the Los Angeles Waterfront in San Pedro.

Large-scale artworks and enhanced park amenities will inspire joy and creativity for local and global visitors, creating a cultural legacy launching in time for the 2028 Olympic Games.
