More than 600 art projects unveiled: Murals, Gateway Signage, Sculptures, and more pay tribute to local culture
SACRAMENTO – Since its inception in July 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom’s $1.2 billion Clean California initiative has restored beauty, rejuvenated community pride and celebrated regional identities across the state. Along with clearing more than 2.6 million cubic yards of litter over the past three years, Clean California is also leaving an enduring legacy with all kinds of art installations that capture local culture.
From Siskiyou and Modoc Counties in the north, to San Diego and Imperial Counties in the south and hundreds of places in between, regional art and talented local artists have played a starring role in neighborhood transformations across the Golden State as part of Clean California. In all, the program has inspired more than 600 installed or planned public murals, mosaics, sculptures and gateway monuments.
