The Art on Construction Fence Program is operated under the City’s Mural Program, which is administered by the Arts Division as part of the Art on the Outside Program. The Art on Construction Fence Program enriches the existing Mural Program but follows an independent, expedited review process with Arts Division staff. The Art on Construction Fence Program transforms the function of a construction fence as a safety barrier into a canvas for art. The art functions as a valuable outlet for artists to share their talents with the community and allow opportunities for engagement – contributing to the dynamic and creative vitality of the City.

REQUIRED PROJECTS:

  • Commercial properties of 10,000 sqft or more
  • One street-facing frontage of at least 75 linear feet

All other commercial properties under construction may install temporary art on to the property's construction fence, provided that the fence complies with the Building Code of the City of West Hollywood and the project's construction mitigation plan, and that the art complies with the provision in the Zone Ordinance 19.20.240. (Ordinance 17-1012)
