About El Segundo Art Walk 

The El Segundo Art Walk is an organization that supports local community economic development through a variety of programs, which includes the self-guided “Art Walk” in El Segundo. Our mission is to improve the local community, to inspire culture and to create economic opportunities for artists, galleries, and small businesses through our local programs.

About 1% for the Arts 

In 2018, El Segundo City Council adopted legislation that requires new commercial developments valued over $2 million to contribute an equivalence to 1% of their project costs towards public art, cultural events, and arts programming. The Cultural Development Program stewards this fund and facilitates the valuable contributions from developers in the pursuit of making El Segundo a place where arts and culture can thrive. To date, the Cultural Development Program has generated over $2.1 million for arts and culture in the City, coordinated and facilitated more than a dozen public artworks and year-round programming, including the El Segundo Art Walk. We thank all of our partners in the community.
