PASSPORT 2024

Every year, we invite artists from across the United States and the World to visit Long Beach and make our city their canvas — permanently enriching our walls and penning a new chapter in our local history.

This year, we honor the rich tradition of intergenerational sharing between young and veteran artists, encouraging them to connect, exchange, and learn from one another. We call this theme “A Platform for the Youth”.

With this physical event being largely defined by its signature festival atmosphere and face-to-face interactions, we recognize the need to cherish this fleeting time and place that only comes once a year to collaborate with those who came before us and those who will come soon after.

In these great times of uncertainty, harnessing and supporting the youth to be the positive impact this world needs, is crucial. How can we help leave this world better off? It starts with providing a platform for energy, messaging, and above all else, the emotional impact of art.
