Bio: Letitia Fernandez Ivins is the civic art program associate of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission’s Civic Art Program.

As the civic art program associate, she interfaces with artists, government stakeholders, capital project managers, and community members to produce high quality, lasting and innovative artwork for public spaces. She has worked in the arts sector for over nine years at the Getty Foundation, Ryman Arts and the Arts Commission.
