Welcome to Los Angeles CREATIVE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD Since its founding in 1781, the city of Los Angeles has been an irresistible magnet for idealists, innovators, and iconoclasts from around the globe seeking to fulﬁll their dreams. Angelenos themselves are deﬁned by a seemingly innate sense of innovation. And they represent more than 140 nations and speak some 224 languages. There is no shortage of opportunities in LA for diverse and disparate cultures to interact, collaborate, and forge new forms of artistic expression. City of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti This spirit of creativity is reﬂected throughout Los Angeles, a city that now boasts: * More than 105 museums * More than 1,500 theatrical productions annually, more than any other city in the world * 55 magniﬁcent structures by the world's top architects * 364 annual celebrations and festivals * 16 of the world's most beautiful gardens and views * Countless ethnic neighborhoods and public art displays Sure, LA is known as the undisputed capital of the entertainment world. But with art and culture for every taste and interest and the highest concentration of artists of any city in the world, LA has become a contender for capital of the cultural world. What is created here continues to inform and inﬂuence people across the globe. I invite you to experience ﬁrst-hand the vitality and diversity of creative accomplishment that has made Los Angeles one of the world's premier destinations. Every great city is measured by the art and culture it offers, and you'll see that Los Angeles is fast becoming the world's yardstick.
