Visit the most charming and romantic public art across L.A. and Southern California. 

Artworks of friendship, love and passion are on show in many downtown plazas, parks and gardens, and we highlight some of the very best for Valentine's Day 2019 in Southern California.

Evening magic of "Urban Light"
open and accessible 24/7

A visit to these famous collections of sculptures, murals, and fountains - from the abstract to the whimsical -  promises amazement and delight, and maybe even a bit of love.

After you've visited some of the public artworks highlighted below, end the day at dusk to experience L.A.'s #1 locale and its surreal changing atmosphere - "Urban Light" on Wilshire Blvd. in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
