Public Art
Art Bank

The Santa Monica City Council adopted the Art Bank Policy in 1984. Through this program, the Santa Monica Arts Commission has created a collection of portable artworks which is on display in public areas of City facilities. The Art Bank brings contemporary art into the environment and life of Santa Monica while encouraging both emerging and established artists by purchasing their work.

Regularly, the Santa Monica Arts Commission assembles a panel of arts professionals to select new works for this collection. The panel reviews the artwork and uses their combined resources and knowledge of the contemporary art world to select new works for the Art Bank.

As a result, the Arts Commission has acquired a distinguished art collection for the City of Santa Monica.
