Arts Council for Long Beach presents
State of the Arts
State of the Arts brings together residents, the creative community, and city leaders to celebrate the arts in Long Beach. Every year, in addition to announcing new projects, the Arts Council recognizes local arts excellence by honoring residents who make an impact in the arts and culture of Long Beach.
Arts awards, such as the Incite/Insight Arts Award, identify those whose work impacts the conversation, changes minds, and fills our hearts with hope for a better city.
