Mission

Discovering, connecting, and growing a community of creators and innovators in the heart of downtown.

The DTLB Design District is a hub for creativity and design in Long Beach’s urban core, complementing the East Village Arts District.

Our goal is to establish a vibrant district that fosters innovation, community engagement, and economic growth. By connecting creative organizations and businesses, we aim to enrich cultural experiences and strengthen the local economy.

Key initiatives include improving public spaces, hosting networking events, developing infrastructure for creatives, streamlining regulations, and identifying financial incentives to support the district’s growth.
