A special thanks to everyone who contributed to our memorable 5 year run in Long Beach.
Koos Art Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in the Long Beach, California. In the nineties, Koos played an instrumental role in developing a youth oriented creative community in Orange County leading to the formation of the Santa Ana Artist Village and a flourishing music scene. Today, Koos exhibits, educates and builds community in Long Beach by serving as a conduit for creative expression through the visual and performing arts, and providing a professional space for emerging and established artists. A music venue, educational art center and gallery, Koos recognizes the personal and cultural importance of all types of art. From exhibitions by nationally-known artists to shows by community youth, the center is making the arts accessible to all. Located in Long Beach since 2003, Koos plays an increasingly important role in the area by being a place where the community can experience free art instruction, independent music, and cutting edge visual art exhibitions.
2008 promises to be a year filled with exceptional exhibitions, performances, and arts education offerings. Koo’s Art Center has a proven track record for producing and exhibiting quality visual and performing arts from emerging artists around the globe. Our specific emphasis is developing emerging art talent and providing a venue for local artists to showcase their work in the community. Koo’s plays an increasingly important role in the region by being a place where the community can participate in and experience art classes, socially conscious performing art, film classes, chamber music, experimental sound art, sculpture, and cutting edge visual art.
