LBMA Downtown
Following a year-long mandated closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are delighted to safely reopen the Long Beach Museum of Art and LBMA Downtown indoor galleries. Please review our COVID-19 protocols and procedures prior to your visit.
Admission during COVID-19
LBMA Downtown is reopen for visitors with advance tickets, including for LBMA Members. Walk-ins are limited and dependent on capacity. FREE Admission.
Space as Presence
Extended through June 27, 2021
Space as Presence at LBMA Downtown features large-scale installations from Southern California artists Christine Nguyen, Elyse Pignolet and Fran Siegel whose works mold to, and evolve with their surroundings. This malleability forms from a tiling process used by each artist; their “canvas” has no limitation, and the works as a result grow until they feel complete, changing to the shape of their environment. Nguyen, Pignolet and Siegel each navigate the intersections of material, narrative and space.
Thursday – Saturday 11am – 3pm
Closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Free parking is available in the parking lot behind the gallery on Elm Street. Additional metered parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood.
