EXPERIENCE PROFILE
Elwood & Associates (EA) was formed in 1993
to assist governmental agencies in cultural
planning to satisfy their public art requirement.
All projects are overseen by Lesley A. Elwood,
personally.
Lesley A. Elwood began her career in fine arts
in 1986 by working as a sales associate, and
later as an assistant director, for two well-
known Los Angeles-based contemporary
galleries. Curating exhibitions in community art
centers and alternative venues complemented
her private sector experience. In 1991, she
was employed by the City of Los Angeles
Cultural Affairs Department Public Arts
Program as Public Art Program Administrator.
In that capacity, Ms. Elwood began working on
a program to train artists and art consultants in
the policies and procedures of the City of Los
Angeles Percent-for-Art Requirement. In
cooperation with other departmental staff,
Elwood organized and conducted workshops
which addressed criteria for program or project
requirements, artists’ presentations, artists’
contracts, public art maintenance, artists’ rights,
and processes established for departmental
approval at various stages of artist commission.
Since 1993, numerous governmental agencies
and private developers have contracted EA,
including: the City of Los Angeles Community
Redevelopment Agency, City of Santa Fe
Springs, City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs
Department, Long Beach Transit, Los Angeles
to Pasadena Metro Gold Line Construction
Authority, County of Los Angeles Community
Development Commission, and the Omnitrans
transit agency that services San Bernardino
County. These projects have all required
intensive community interaction, governmental
agency coordination, and artist oversight. In
addition to project management services, E&A
has also worked with several cities in
conducting studies that resulted in the creation
of policies and programs to support the
inclusion of public artworks into the urban
landscape.
