Free Art in Public Places Walking Tour Book Now Available!

This fall, Culver City is celebrating the Art in Public Places Program’s 30th Anniversary by making a walking tour book available to the public – free of charge!  “It is our sincere desire that you use this guide to explore the stunning works that have helped shape Culver City’s cultural community,” said Culver City Mayor Thomas Aujero Small.

This compact 76-page book contains color photographs of many public artworks within the city. The book also includes pull out maps featuring two different walking tours, each taking about one hour, spanning the vibrant downtown area of Culver City. The book is designed to fit in your pocket with a flap for holding any business cards, brochures or menus you pick up along the way.

Learn about public art in Culver City, the historical buildings, and other interesting things you may have noticed, but have not looked at closely. There is a brief history of the city, as well as some factoids of the artworks or buildings that are fascinating once discovered.

The books will be available at the following locations:

» City Hall on the first and second floors, and in the Mike Balkman Council Chambers, 9770 Culver Boulevard, Culver City
