Downtown Art Walk

The Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DLBA) is pleased to announce the return of the quarterly Downtown Art Walk.

On Saturday, April 13, Downtown Long Beach (DTLB) will be home to a fusion of creativity, community, and celebration. The Downtown Long Beach Alliance is proud to be a major partner for this quarterly art walk, and third in the series titled “DTLB Art Walk: Celebrate Downtown Edition.” Similar to previous DTLB art walks, the effort is a collaboration between the Downtown Long Beach Alliance, Arts Council for Long Beach, LBMA Downtown, Grey LB, Studio One Eleven, and the many businesses and artists of the Historic East Village Arts District.

In this special edition, the Art Walk will serve as the canvas and Celebrate Downtown will be a major programmatic component. This unique combination is designed to elevate the visibility of the arts, the East Village, the Design District, and honor those who contribute to the flourishing Downtown area, creating a cohesive celebration that spotlights the rich tapestry of Downtown.

1st Street & Historic East Village Arts District Activation (Various activities from 1 to 9 PM) — The East Village is a historic gem and independent shopping district where you can experience the creative culture of Downtown Long Beach. Businesses throughout the East Village, with a high concentration on 1st Street, will be organized from 1 to 6 PM, pairing their unique and boutique offerings with artists from throughout the region. More can be found on the collectives’ program on Instagram or on the East Village website.

Former Acres of Books of Building (4 to 9 PM) — This will serve as the central hub of “DTLB Art Walk: Celebrate Downtown Edition.” The main program for Celebrate Downtown will take place between 6 and 7 PM at this main hub.
