Although I was born and raised in Los Angeles, I call a smaller city about 20 minutes outside of LA home at the moment. Long Beach is a beautiful city that has a special place in my heart, and I have a blog post planned for it coming soon! But the reason I’m bringing this up now is because as I was driving the other day, I kept passing by these striking pieces of street art. It dawned on me that part two is in order, highlighting some of the fantastic street art you can find in Greater Los Angeles. If you have yet to take a peek at part one, please do so and I present to you some of Long Beach’s best street art!

I love living in a city that allows artists to express their creativity in such a bold way paying homage to history, culture and legends. If you’re ever lucky enough to visit Long Beach and get a feel for this city’s vibe, you will understand how seamlessly this art, scattered throughout the city fits. When people visit Los Angeles, they tend to stay in LA but do yourself a favor and venture down the 405 and immerse yourself in Long Beach’s vibrant art scene.
