Equitable Life Building (Los Angeles)
The lobby of the Equitable Life Building hosts art in its vitrines. This space is called Equitable Vitrines. These vitrines have hosted art including Jennifer Moon's Will You Still Love Me: Learning to Love Yourself, It Is The Greatest Gift of All in 2014-2015. In an interview with Ocula Magazine, Equitable Vitrines founders Ellie Lee and Matt Connolly explained that they realised through negotiations with the building's management, 'bureaucrats, artists, and tenants—each required a different way of thinking and speaking about what art is and what it can or should do.'
Since March 2, 2015, the Equitable Life Building has served as the chancery of the Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles, occupying part of its fifth floor.
In popular culture
The tower has been featured in Grand Theft Auto V, although the in-gane model differs from the Equitable Life Building.
