Getty House, the official residence of the Mayor of Los Angeles, serves as a meeting place for conversation on civic issues. In addition to maintaining Getty House, the Getty House Foundation provides children’s educational programs, organizes school visits, and conducts public tours and other special forums in order to foster civic education to create and sustain livable communities.
