Video by Asia Morris.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With the Long Beach Convention Center&#8217;s ongoing effort to activate some of the campus&#8217; less colorful spaces, artist Esao Andrews was brought in to paint a gigantic mural across the entrances to Exhibit Halls A, B and C, which took him just under three weeks to complete. Steve Goodling, President &amp; CEO of the Long Beach Convention &amp; Visitors Bureau, met Andrews in 2015 at the Long Beach Museum of Art, where the artist was <a href=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/esao-andrews-4\/\">painting a mural<\/a> for the museum&#8217;s Vitality &amp; Verve series in collaboration with POW! WOW! Long Beach.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/esao-andrews-4\/<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I loved his work and felt that it could elevate what used to be a very cavernous, dark hallway adjacent to Bogarts leading into the Exhibit Halls,&#8221; Goodling said.<\/p>\n<p>This piece, with its &#8220;Jack and the Beanstalk&#8221; vibe, is an extension of that idea Andrews painted at the museum four years ago, bringing a butterfly&#8217;s life cycle to the attention of the thousands of people who visit the Convention Center every year; the concept that beauty is fleeting and something to be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Andrews walks you through the mural in this next video from the Hi-lo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Convention Center&#8217;s ongoing effort to activate some of the campus&#8217; less colorful spaces, artist Esao Andrews was brought in to paint an indoor mural.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":136,"featured_media":70477,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[65],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[2744],"class_list":["post-8031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hi-lo","tag-murals","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/136"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8031"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=8031"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/esd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=8031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
