Long Beach Vibez

Long Beach Vibez celebrates that rhythm through the eyes of local and regional artists. This exhibition showcases works inspired by the city’s layered identity: its iconic landmarks and hidden alleyways, its tattoo and car cultures, its LGBTQ+ pride, its global influences, and the legendary scenes that shape its nightlife and music. Presented in a wide range of media from painting and photography to sculpture, fashion, and beyond. Long Beach Vibez captures the essence of a city where resilience meets reinvention, and where art thrives in every corner.

The exhibition was proposed by Michael Biagiotti who, along with Michele Rene and Lucas Jordan, selected the work for the show. Artists include Sarah Arnold, Michael Ballard, Todd Becraft, Alyssa Belanio, Constance Brantley, Garrett M Brown, Jazzmine Caron, Monica Castaloni, Annie Clavel, Carlos Cordero, Kellie Crackle, Dennis Doran, Sarah Dougherty, Eric Escobar, Gilbert Estrada, Walter Focht, Catheryn Franklin, Roderick Hamby, Stephanie Han, Louise Ivers, Renee James, Hannah Justesen ,Bradley Kahabka, David Ledger, Mary Anne McKernie, Melany Meza Dierks, Cheryl Milas, Michele Morgan, Matthew Murrin, Robert Murrin, Jim Nista, Cindy Ortega, Andrew Pisula, Irene Isabel Prestinary, Tiffany Rahmati, Devon Reiffer, Ken Renk, Bob Ring, Jaime Sabatte, Connor Schaal, Tom Scherschel, Michelle Shanahan, JL Silva, Amelie Simmons, Adam Stanzak, Samantha Stock, Nora Tomlinson, Maureen Vastardis, Valerie Vega, Cindy Whitlock, and Pia Williams.

This exhibition, a tribute to the pulse, spirit, and soul of Long Beach, is made possible in part by the Arts Council for Long Beach, the Port of Long Beach, and the Briggs Family Trust.
