Malibu Arts Commission
The City Council demonstrated a commitment to the arts by creating the Malibu Arts Commission, formerly known as the Cultural Arts Commission (M.M.C. Chapter 2.26), and appointing five members of the community and one ex-officio member as Commissioners. The Commission makes recommendations to the Council with respect to matters concerning the cultural arts policy, facility rental fee policies for local arts organizations, arts-related General Fund Grant applications, use of City parks for arts-related events, purchase of art by the City, arts programs sponsored by the City, outreach to Malibu artists and arts organizations, use of cultural spaces at Malibu City Hall, and such other matters as directed by the City Council, in addition to following the Malibu Arts Commission Mission Statement.
Visit the Malibu Arts Commission website for information on performing, visual, and literary artists. The website is operated by City staff under the advisement of the Malibu Arts Commission.
