Grand Park’s Portraits of Freedom

Grand Park’s Portraits of Freedom will magnify the culturally rich and diverse communities that comprise L.A. County with a month-long public art installation that applies an artistic lens to celebrate home and freedom, themes often associated with July 4th observances. From July 1–31, 2021, Grand Park’s Portraits of Freedom: Building a Life in L.A. will feature photography and video exhibitions as well as a nighttime projection installation. Presentations located in pockets throughout  Grand Park will feature the work of local artists. 

Located throughout different areas of Grand Park between Grand Avenue and North Broadway, the on-site programming will illuminate Los Angeles  through civic pride, identity and engagement while narrating cornerstone  stories of the American experience. Grand Park invites Angelenos to submit reflections of “home” to be considered for inclusion in weekly updates to the nighttime projections. More information can be found at july.grandparkla.org.

Grand Park will remain open on July 4th for Angelenos to enjoy the installations as well as the park’s lush gardens  and grassy areas; however, there will be no live events or the traditional fireworks show occurring that day.

All  summer long, Grand Park will reshare images and stories of Angelenos celebrating their summer of freedom. Fans are encouraged to tag #PortraitsOfFreedom and mention @grandpark_la on Instagram to be considered for prizes including gift cards and Grand Park swag.
