Founded in 2022, Munzón Gallery (1730 E Anaheim St) is a contemporary art gallery located in Cambodia Town with a particular focus on painting and printmaking. In addition to its exhibition space, the gallery offers artist studios for rent, complete with access to various sizes of printing presses for relief printmakers. The dynamic combination of exhibition and studio spaces creates an enriching environment for both artists and art enthusiasts to engage and appreciate the diverse world of contemporary art.

Pan African Art Gallery (2228 Atlantic Ave) is a celebration of African and African diaspora creativity, positioned at the cultural crossroads of Long Beach. Its mission is to inspire curiosity and foster a deeper appreciation for the arts, cultural, and historical understanding of African culture globally. The gallery showcases the work of founder Akinsanya Kambon, previously a professor of art at Cal State Long Beach. His sculptures and paintings have been exhibited at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. Gallery tours are available by appointment only.

Open Gallery (1738 E 7th St)—true to its name—is notably welcoming and boundary-free, championing experimentation and inclusivity. It hosts solo and group exhibitions across disciplines: painting, digital art, installation, and more. Emerging and underrepresented voices get a platform here, often featuring socially conscious, thought-provoking work that sparks dialogue. The gallery offers limited open hours for its exhibitions, and the gift shop selling originals, prints, collectibles, and merch is open on weekends.
