The Long Beach Creative Group presents Ocean, a group show, Nov. 7 to Dec. 5. The exhibition features 56 pieces by 44 artists, selected by a jury of three art professionals, from nearly 200 submissions. Ocean is being presented in the LBCG/Rod Briggs Gallery in Long Beach.
Humans are connected to the ocean, the home to a vast marine life. From exploration, trade and sustenance to power generation and climate regulation – what’s left of it – the sea has shaped almost every aspect of life on the planet. It is an important part of the culture, history, and economy of the local region.
Artists who reside in Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, and San Pedro, as well as individuals who attend, or have graduated from, California State University, Long Beach or Long Beach City College, were invited to submit up to three pieces for this exhibition.
LBCG board member Helen Cox who coordinated the open call said, “I am delighted by the quality of work, and the unique perspectives represented in the show. The jurors have done a great job of representing the diversity and creativity that makes Long Beach so special.”
LBCG is also presenting a special talk by Leah Young, community outreach coordinator for the Aquarium of the Pacific, from 3 to 4 p.m. Nov. 14. Young will discuss the Aquarium’s research programs, and their efforts to preserve endangered species, including the white abalone and the giant sea bass.
The exhibition has been made possible, in part, by a grant from Los Angeles County Fourth District Supervisor Janice Hahn. The gallery is also sustained through a combination of art sales, private donations, volunteers, and the generous support of Cameron Briggs. No appointment is required.
