#ARTSLB
We are the stewards of the diverse and
thriving arts community of the city of
Long Beach, California.
We were formed by local leaders in
1976 who wanted to nurture, cultivate
and inspire the artists in our
community. Our past and present
leadership has stayed true to this
mission.
#ARTSLB
Today, our work ensures that
established artists are supported, new
artists are discovered, and that the arts,
which are critical to a vibrant and
diverse community, will always thrive in
our city.
#ARTSLB
We are unique in our advocacy for the
artists who enrich the quality of our
lives and in our singular focus on
making Long Beach a place that
benefits from universal access to the
arts.
