Destination Crenshaw (DC) is a shovel-ready, public/private cultural infrastructure and workforce development project created to dramatically repair, revitalize, and sustain the Crenshaw Corridor, the most iconic Black Business corridor in LA in the heart of the largest Black community on the West Coast. An African American-led project on a self-determined site, DC was created to feature the Black artists of LA and to create new physical monuments to illuminate the historic contributions and continued strength of Black LA.  Explicitly cited as one of the Five-Year Implementation Plan Actions recommended by the City of Los Angeles Citywide Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (LACEDS), DC will spark “corridor revitalization, stabilization, and creation of a job-producing hub for culture and entertainment.”
This 1.3-mile outdoor “people’s museum” will run along both sides of Crenshaw Boulevard at the new Crenshaw/LAX Metro Line and will consist of an historic 100-plus public art commissions by Black Angeleno artists; new infrastructure (including performance venues, pocket parks, parking, safety improvements, and sidewalks); and 30,000 square feet of sustainable landscaping including 822 trees. Each park will be a site for public art and a variety of community and civic activities, including informal gatherings, protests, performances, and farmers markets, building a cultural campus that will attract local residents, tourists, and the estimated 5.9 million annual riders on the Metro line alike.
