Community and Culture
The Getty Center Museum -- one of the world’s largest and best-known museums -- makes its home high in the hills above Brentwood. The Richard Meier-designed campus opened in 1997, and quickly became the cultural and artistic center of the Westside. The home of vast collections of Architecture, Furniture and Decorative Objects, Paintings, Photographs and Manuscripts; the museum plays host to international touring exhibitions, outdoor concerts and lecture series. Surrounded by lush gardens, artful landscape designs and breathtaking views from Downtown to the Pacific, the Getty Center Museum is truly a jewel, and ideally located for Brentwood residents to take full advantage of its myriad cultural and educational opportunities.

Brentwood celebrates its small-town feel with numerous community events throughout the year, including the Brentwood Art Fair (April), The Brentwood Cornfest (July) and the Taste of Brentwood Food Festival (October). The close proximity of the Los Angeles Veterans Administration Campus makes the last weekend in May a truly special celebration. A traditional Memorial Day Parade, as well as 5-K and 10-K runs celebrate Memorial Day Weekend. The Holiday Season finds Brentwood’s Business district glittering, as the Coral Trees on San Vicente Boulevard are festooned with lights, and local merchants decorate their stores and boutiques in seasonal finery.
