Arts Week At Long Beach State

Everything from Andy Warhol to art tours constitute the daily exhibitions of Arts Week at California State University, Long Beach.
Displays are available for viewing from November 13th through the 20th, with a different artist or exhibit shown each day.
Most of the shows are free to CSULB students, such as the "Warhol; 15 min/24 fps" and "Maya Schindler: Present Progressive" shows, held last Thursday, November 13th.
Of course, the activities for students to partake in aren't strictly limited to displayed works of art; the World Percussion Concert (Nov. 14, $7), featuring a Latin-jazz fusion type musical performance is also on the bill for arts week.
Artist Tomory Dodge will be at the University Theater onn Wednesday, November 19th, at five o clock to discuss his craft and what it means to him with the students who care to join in. Dodge's work with landscapes and imagery have made him a well known artist in the Los Angeles area. There is no charge for this event.
Thursday November 20th an art showcase called "The King and The Condemned" will be available for viewing in the showcase and theater arts rooms 24 and 26 at CSULB. This week student artist Gowen's art will be prominently displayed. A later show, this one is at 11p.m. and also free.
As an added bonus to this tapestry of artistic events, there will also be, as mentioned earlier, art tours of the university every day during arts week, starting promptly at noon at the University Student Union information desk, located on the second floor in the center of the foyer.
