Brea...City of Art
The Brea community takes pride in its image as a City of Art. Brea is host to a performing arts theatre, an Arts in Public Places outdoor sculpture collection and a nationally-recognized art gallery. By including art throughout the city, Brea has earned its reputation as one of North Orange County’s premiere cultural venues.
Brea’s Art in Public Places began in 1975 and was designed to integrate public art with private development. This nationally recognized program now includes over 140 sculptures, all in public view throughout the City. The Art in Public Places program features a wide range of mediums, styles and approaches by local, national and internationally renowned artists.

With the potential reduction and losses in City arts programs, the Cultural Arts Commission is notifying local businesses and past art supporters of any opportunity to make a contribution to the arts.
