ARTS AND CULTURE
Culver City is a city founded on the arts and is
deeply connected to the film industry in its cultural
history. Visual and performing arts are important
to nurturing a thriving and vibrant creative
community in Culver City. Parks and the arts are
both connected to community safety, public
health, and mental well-being by numerous
studies.26 Neighborhoods in Culver City should have
equitable access to arts and culture assets and
programming.
Arts and culture can manifest in multiple
ways throughout the city’s open space system.
Permanent public art examples include, but are
not limited to: sculpture, murals, earthworks,
site furnishings, exhibit or performance space.
Temporary public art examples include, but are
not limited to: forms of ephemeral media (sound,
video, projection mapping), performing arts,
educational programming, poetry readings, food
culture, and special events.
122 THE PLAN // SYSTEM SCALE
Arts can be incorporated
into many aspects of the
Culver City parks system,
and municipal performance
and arts facilities could be
established.
