LONG BEACH, CA (Sept. 27, 2024) — The Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DTLB Alliance) is excited to announce the return of the DTLB Art + Design Walk on Oct. 12, 2024 in celebration of October Arts Month. This dynamic quarterly event celebrates the creativity and diversity of Downtown Long Beach’s thriving art and design scene, offering attendees the chance to explore local galleries, businesses, and creative spaces.
This iteration of the DTLB Art + Design Walk will feature a variety of local artists, designers, and musicians spread across more than 30 Downtown venues, from iconic spaces such as the former Acres of Books Building and LBMA Downtown to newer creative hubs. The event has grown significantly since its inception, now incorporating a broader range of cultural and creative elements throughout the Downtown area.
“Our goal is to showcase the rich, evolving creative landscape of Downtown Long Beach,” said Justine Nevarez, DTLB Alliance Community Outreach & Events Manager. “We hope the DTLB Art + Design Walk will inspire, uplift, and support the many talented individuals and businesses that make our Downtown so vibrant. It’s an opportunity for artists, designers, and the community to come together and celebrate creativity.”
The DTLB Art Walk, now called DTLB Art + Design Walk, has evolved over the last year to reflect the growing design and creative industries in Downtown Long Beach. Held quarterly, the DTLB Art + Design Walk offers a more expansive experience, connecting attendees with artists, designers, and local businesses across a larger footprint.
In addition to bringing foot traffic to local businesses, the event provides a platform for vendors and artists to sell their work and connect with the community. The DTLB Alliance and its organizing partners—Studio One Eleven, DTLB Design District, Time and Space, DreamKreator Studio, and Mosaic—are in the process of finalizing details and curating this next walk, with details and map to be announced soon on dtlb.org/art-walk.
