Art on the Outside Program

The City of West Hollywood’s Art on the Outside (AOTO) program funds the presentation of free and publicly accessible artworks at city-owned parks and facilities. Artworks exhibited through this program typically include sculpture, murals, digital screen-based artwork, and performance art. Most exhibitions remain on display for a duration of 6 months to 3 years, depending on the concept, construction, and location of the approved artwork. The City of West Hollywood’s Arts Division hosts an annual open call inviting artists, curators and arts organizations to submit proposals for temporary public art projects to be exhibited at select pre-approved public locations throughout the City. The Open Call does not specify a particular curatorial theme for proposals in the interest of soliciting the most diverse representation of projects possible. All applicants should familiarize themselves with the City’s values, history and mission statement to better align their projects with the unique and specific characteristics of West Hollywood’s vibrant, progressive, and welcoming community: * About West Hollywood * City of West Hollywood Mission Statement & Values * Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission Review and Approval Process
