SUMMARY:Music to My Eyes: Student Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Incredible music-inspired art by talented Long Beach H.S. students from Renaissance\, Millikan\, and St Anthony. Creativity on full display! \n\n\n\nSTUDENT ART PROJECT\nMulti-discipline art expression with music\, paint\, and photography. \nLocal high school art students were assigned a song\, preferably one they were not too familiar with\, and were tasked with painting what the song inspired in them. \nSongs from genres as different as jazz\, hard rock\, classical\, and from the Great American Song Book\, were selected from multiple sources considered as “the greatest songs of all time” and assigned randomly to the artists who signed up for the project. \nThe students were instructed to listen and ingest the music\, to let the song capture the imagination and inspire their art. Students were encouraged to listen to the music on repeat during their creative process. \nCreative Class Collective was eager to see how each song inspired the artist’s interpretation of the music. \nPlease enjoy this incredible collection created from the hands of the talented aspiring artists from across the city. \n\nSaturday\, April 11\, from 5pm to 7pm\, at the Edison Theatre\, 213 Broadway\, Downtown Long Beach.  \n\nPlease RSVP here:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/music-to-my-eyes-student-exhibition-tickets-1986551578247?aff=oddtdtcreator \n  \n\nDTLB Instagram\nDTLB LinkedIn\nDTLB website

SUMMARY:Schindler Space Architect Screening and Conversation with Director Valentina Ganeva
DESCRIPTION:Join the Art Theatre and the AIA Long Beach South Bay for a screening of the film\, “Schindler Space Architect” and conversation with the filmmaker\, Valentina Ganeva on Sunday\, August 16th at 2pm. \nArchitect R.M.

The story is told through narration\, interviews\, Schindler’s theoretical writings\, correspondence\, photos and renderings of his many works and projects. \nSupported\, in part\, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture\, the Arts council of Long Beach\, the City of Long Beach\, Port of Long Beach and California Arts Council\, a state agency. \nMore information about the Screening and Conversation and to purchase tickets\, visit the Art Theatre Website.
