Long Beach Walls/Art Renzei

The city of Long Beach will once again be filled with art and music as notable international and local artists come together to create murals and other forms of art and music during the Long Beach Walls and Art Renzei Festival, Aug. 14 - 19. This year’s festival, themed, “Follow Your Bliss,” promises to take visitors on a unique journey of outdoor installations and interactive events that encourage self-reflection and exploration of one's passion and joy. Festivalgoers can enjoy 24/7 viewing of the mural art, participate in mural bike tours, enjoy an exhibition by Open Gallery featuring over 30 past and present Long Beach Walls artists, attend artist talks and much more. This year more than 600 artists applied to be one of the 19 featured festival artists. The Long Beach Walls worldwide committee reviewed each application and selected a diverse group of local, national and international artists. This year’s lineup will include works from leading artists Dina Saadi, Roshi, Jack Soren, Ryan Griffin, Jason Keam, Stevie Shao, Shar Tui’Asoa, SUPERWAXX, Mister Toledo, Nevermade, Royal Dog, Jess Weymouth, James Shen, Lauren YS, Leho, Crystal Wagner, Jennifer Tran, Balloonski, and Olivia Steele.
