Nearly half the pieces in Inglewood are community based artworks. These projects are structured under the guidance of a professional local artist. The artist works with a disadvantaged community groups of youth. They typically have an educational component in that the artist runs a workshop. Then the artist is tasked with 'pulling it all together' into a piece that reflects the place and community and allows the youth to be involved in the fabrication. In Inglewood, they consist of a series of painted murals and mosaics. Many of were undertaken under the auspices of Inglewood Cultural Arts.

Another group of murals resulted from the Artist working with community volunteers to help paint them; the engagement is the collective experience of painting. REZIN's three murals typify that approach. There are also two works at the La Tijera K-8 School that were done in association with the Otis College of Art and Design Creative Action Program. Another work, Bookmark @ the Inglewood Public Library is a sculptural piece that takes deaccessioned books and draws users into participating into creating a sculpture.
