PASSPORT 2021

It’s time to get out there and enjoy the city coming alive—not just for one day, but from now on. Many of us have been pacing the same indoor paths for a long time, focused on keeping ourselves afloat. 

This fall, we’re inviting Long Beach to stretch stiff limbs and find joy outside. Come bask in the sun, in the healing power of art, and in each other’s presence at POW! WOW! Long Beach and Art Renzei.

 

ART RENZEI

IS A MULTIMEDIA ART FESTIVAL SHOWCASING THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE LONG BEACH COASTLINE.

POW!WOW!
