Brea is known for its extensive Art in Public Places program, and instead of just having a city hall we have a civic and cultural center that includes a performing arts theater, art gallery and branch library. It is interesting how it all came about. According former Brea city manger and mayor, Wayne Wedin, via email, 'We did know the civic cultural center components would have the ability to draw people from a greater distance to shop at the Brea Mall.' He added that there were many discussions and information gathered from around the country regarding what to include in the new civic and cultural center and how it could support the success of the new mall.
