\u201cThis process has allowed us to feature talented local artists whose work celebrates the urban life of downtown Long Beach,\u201d said Michael Bohn, senior principal at Studio One Eleven, in a statement. \u201cAll of the entries showcased the artistic talent of Long Beach, but ultimately we selected the artists that would best reflect our passion for street art and urban revitalization. The artists will also complement a raw open industrial work environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artists were encouraged to incorporate the theme \u201cCelebrating Urban Life\u201d in their submissions while expressing their artistic freedom. The artists selected submitted works that use a variety of techniques, from vinyl application to spray paint, all to help the two firms create a unique work environment for their more than 130 employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of the artists brings something unique to the space,\u201d stated Sumako Sozdatel, the local arts consultant who led the Call for Artists<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cOur goal was to select Long Beach area artists who embody the street style and urban texture of the city while, at the same time, also reflecting their own experiences within the landscape.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
