Where to find street art in Los Angeles (United States)
The mural tradition of Los Angeles is rooted in the Chicano movement of the 1960s, when artists from East LA transformed walls into canvases of cultural resistance. In 1974, Judith Baca launched a citywide mural program and co-founded SPARC; her Great Wall (1978), made with over 400 volunteers, runs nearly a mile along the Tujunga Wash.
The Arts District downtown concentrates nearly a hundred murals on former industrial buildings. Boyle Heights carries the Chicano legacy with the Estrada Courts murals from the 1970s. Venice Beach hosts the Art Walls, open to all artists on weekends through the STP Foundation. West Hollywood features works by Shepard Fairey and RETNA, and Melrose Avenue offers a dense corridor of murals and stencil art.
The Mural Conservancy documents this heritage alongside the City's Department of Cultural Affairs, which registers non-commercial murals since 2013. Beyond the Streets stages international exhibitions on graffiti and street art with its base in the city. Since 2015, the annual POW! WOW! Long Beach festival brings artists from around the world to paint large-scale public murals, and LA Art Tours offers guided walks through these neighborhoods.
