About the 2nd District Arts and Culture Access Initiative
The Second District Arts and Culture Access Initiative removes barriers that prevent far too many residents in our district from enjoying the benefits of diverse performances and art and cultural experiences that make LA County the entertainment capital of the world.
In partnership with leading arts and culture institutions, County departments and community organizations, we are providing complimentary tickets, transportation and even support with food for communities in our district that are disproportionately impacted by ticket and food costs and transportation limitations to ensure equitable access to quality arts and culture events.
Discover Free Arts & Culture Experiences in LA County

Our Impact and Ways to Support
Since launching in 2025, we have provided free tickets, food, and transportation to hundreds of Second District residents for events at the Hollywood Bowl, Ford Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Beckmen YOLA Center, LACMA and the La Brea Tar Pits.
If you’re part of an arts and/or cultural institution that would like to learn more about ways to support this initiative, please contact Emmanuel Yoque at eyoque@bos.lacounty.gov
