https://citygasm.com/featured/must-see-street-art-in-long-beach-ca/
Whether you currently reside in Cali or are just visiting the West Coast, there is one thing that remains true - there's no other place like it. Whether you're drawn to the sunny beaches, palm trees, Hollywood landmarks or art, there is no lack of attractions, events, and culture to keep you entertained.
As a lover of street art, I am always on the hunt for new and exciting pieces, and Cali never disappoints.
Long Beach is the place to be for anyone looking to see the work of a dozen internationally renowned street artists in the greater LA Area. Just 12 miles from downtown L.A., Long Beach is now home to more than 25 murals from the likes of artists Hula, Pantone, Ernest Zacharevic, Dragon76, Defer, Li-Hill, Pantonio, and much more. The most recent murals were installed during a week-long celebration of culture, music, and art known as Pow! Wow! Long Beach from July 11-17, though several murals still exist from the festival last year.
The murals are all relatively close with some of the largest ones found on leading attractions and landmarks such as the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Long Beach Convention Center, and the Westin Hotel. For a list of murals and locations, please see below.
