Message from the Director

2007 promises to be an exciting year with eleven days of cultural arts programming in AIP's ArtsFes opening with our fifth annual cabaret festival on May 17th and closing with our third annual Twilight Festival and Concert on Memorial Day weekend (Sunday, May 29th) with artist booths surrounding Kennedy Plaza.

“Conversations on the Arts”, “Share Your Art” events, master class/workshops, and art explorations on various themes will continue. An Art Auction and a Readers’ Theatre are in discussion as well as a Literary Festival. Our Gallery Walk concept will be expanded with additional networking and social opportunities being developed.

A ”First Night Long Beach” celebration for New Years Eve is in the talking stages, as well as long-range plans for a permanent Arts Center. Join us in celebrating the arts!
