DTLB Art + Design Walk (Saturday, April 11 | 2 – 7 p.m.) – sponsored
If you’re looking for a way to step outside, reset, and maybe feel a little more connected — to your city, your community, and the environment — the DTLB Art + Design Walk returns Saturday, April 11 from 2 to 7 p.m. Organized by the Downtown Long Beach Alliance (DTLB Alliance) in collaboration with DTLB Design District, Studio One Eleven, and Arts Council for Long Beach (ArtsLB), experience Downtown as it becomes an open-air creative district, with art, design, and interactive experiences spread across the East Village Arts District, the Promenade, and Pine Avenue, all exploring themes of renewal and our relationship to the world around us.
“Bringing together art and social action, this edition connects Downtown through a range of thought-provoking works, from solar-powered installations to student-created pieces and photography that highlights shared humanity,” said Rodrigo Rodarte, DTLB Alliance Senior Placemaking & Activations Manager.
Stick around through sunset for the unveiling of “Long Beach Lights” (6–7 p.m.) on the Promenade between Broadway and 1st Street, a temporary solar-powered installation by People’s Architecture Office and Jennifer Tran Studio. It’s a simple, thoughtful way to spend an afternoon — whether you’re there to engage deeply or just wander and take it in.
