Throughout Zev’s long career as a Southern California politician, he has served on both the Los Angeles City Council and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. During his public service career, Yaroslavsky was the county’s leader in the cultural arts. The Los Angeles Times said of him before he retired in 2014, “It would be hard to find another major politician anywhere in the entire country with Yaroslavsky’s record for outright arts support and achievement.”
