POW! WOW! Long Beach is week-long, city-wide event that takes place in the summer throughout Long Beach and is part of the globally recognized POW! WOW! Worldwide series of street art events, which since 2010 has brought murals to public spaces in cities like Honolulu, Seoul, Washington DC, Taipei and Tokyo. The core of our mission is to bring art and culture to public spaces while beautifying the city of Long Beach and cultivating community pride. In the past 3 years, Pow! Wow! Long Beach has executed murals in over 40 square miles throughout the city, from South Street to Ocean Boulevard, creating a walkable, bikeable public art experience unlike anything else in the country.
We are excited to announce that our own Brendan Monroe will be speaking with POW! WOW! Founder Jasper Wong and Poketo co-founder Ted Vadakan at the Long Beach mural festival this week. The discussion (entitled "Art, Design, and Creative Spaces") will take place at 6pm on Thursday, July 25.
