Fifteen established Long Beach visual artists will open their studios to the public during the fifth biennial Mid-City Studio Tour on Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5 from 11am to 5pm. The free, self-guided tour is made possible through a micro-grant from Arts Council for Long Beach, and artwork include paintings, mixed-media constructions, handmade artists’ books, prints, photographs, and jewelry.
Begun in 2003, the Mid-City Studio Tour was created to allow local artists who have shown nationally and internationally to promote their work while allowing the public to see new art, speak with artists, and view artists’ work spaces. Images and a tour map for the event can be found at midcitystudiotour.com.
Participating artists include Slater Barron, JoAnne Berke, Victoria Damrel, Cynthia Evans, Gisele, Moira Hahn, Ilee Kaplan, Pia Pizzo, John Montich, Robert Potier, Carol Roemer, Sue Ann Robinson, Joan Skogsberg Sanders, Annie Stromquist, and Gail Werner. Maps for the self-guided tour are also available the days of the event at Greenly Art Space, 2698 Junipero Ave. #113 in Signal Hill.
