COVINA ARTS DISTRICT
Our Vision
Develop accessible, resilient, and artistic environments to invigorate the downtown area.
Project Goals
To provide recommendations to the existing Covina Town Center Specific Plan (CTCSP) within the elements of artistic creativity, sustainable environments, and community empowerment. These recommendations will provide long-lasting economic and social stability through art patronage, adaptive physical space, and community activation.
The Project
The Covina Arts District (CAD) will encourage the “adaptive reuse of existing structures and...establishment(s)" (City of Covina, 2019, p. 3-15) within Covina's F.A.I.R. district. CAD is envisioned as a multi-use area combining innovative landscaping with specifically placed art pieces to create a unique experience for visitors and residents.
The recommendations made for this report were all deemed as applicable for Covina. They can be installed or implemented through various grants, permits, or programs at the local, state, and even non-profit levels.

The basic conditions to undergo this process include development standards, public infrastructure improvements, and a comprehensive and strategic set of policies.
