The Long Beach Art League was initially formed in 1952, by artist and long time resident, Leona Post and a few of her friends. Over the years this small group has grown into a paid membership with diversified artists and photographers. Our Executive Board consists of professional to newly discovered artists who are dedicated to maintaining and promoting the highest quality standards.
