The Art on The Outside program is the City's temporary art program that installs rotating artworks on the City's medians, in the parks, and on the digital billboards on Sunset Boulevard. The artworks can include sculpture, murals, digital art, and other outdoor works. Most exhibitions remain on display for between 6 months - 3 years. All projects are subject to the Art on the Outside Program Review and Approval Process.  The program is funded through the City's Public Beautification & Art Fund. 

The Art on the Outside Subcommittee of the Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission oversees the temporary art installations in the public realm. The Subcommittee takes the lead in developing and evaluating exhibition concepts and art proposals for the City’s Art on the Outside Program, Mural Program, and Moving Image Media Art Program. The Subcommittee determines the methodology and process by which to attract artists and art consultants, reviews requests for proposals, and interviews applicants as appropriate. Temporary art projects submitted to the city are reviewed by the Subcommittee using the Art on the Outside Review and Evaluation Criteria. Funding for projects in the Art on the Outside Program comes from the City’s Public Beautification + Art Fund.
