The world-acclaimed artists of POW! WOW! Long Beach<\/a><\/em> have come and gone, but their murals are here to stay and the city is a bit more colorful for it.<\/p>\n

Renowned artists James Jean<\/a>, Low Bros, Cryptik, Hueman, Benjie Escobar, Madsteez, Tristan Eaton, Aaron DeLa Cruz, Push, Jeff Soto, Bumblebee and Long Beach local Jeff McMillan<\/a>\u00a0performed the monumental task of painting larger-than-life size pieces in a week or less.<\/p>\n

An insightful 1-2-1 with Jeff Staple featuring the accomplished French street artist Fafi<\/a>\u00a0and a screening of \u201cThe Deepest Depths of the Burrow\u201d and talk with artist Nychos, gave fans and newcomers to the genre a deeper look into the how, where and why of street art and its internationally budding culture, a scene the city has clearly voiced its support for.<\/p>\n

While the pictures below tell an easy-to-come-by tale of the creatives who left their mark here, they simply cannot describe the in-person effect when happening upon or intentionally visiting one of the ten, now-vibrant sites to see. So, do yourself a favor and explore the hidden murals and in-your-face walls of art now scattered mostly throughout downtown.<\/p>\n
