In an effort to reel in young Long Beach locals (in addition to all the regular attendees) the first-ever LBMA After Dark event at the Long Beach Museum of Art on Ocean Boulevard takes place tonight from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
For a $10 cover, patrons will enjoy a lounge-style setting and a live painting performance by the aptly dubbed Fallopian Artopians. These three women, who celebrated an official year of working together in February, set up easels side by side and team up on all three canvases, one of which will be raffled off at the end of the night.
“We developed over time what sort of worked organically … I think our process is unique, and the raffle really helps people get into it,” said Margie Darrow, who brings her abstract flair to the group that also includes Justine Serbrin and Yvonne Sanders.
In addition to the Fallopian she-painters, DJ Nobody will be “spinning grooves.” If that’s not intriguing enough, there will be a cash bar and appetizer menu for $3 per dose of social lubrication and around $5 per snack-a-doodle-doo.
If that’s not still enough, you also get full access to LBMA’s latest exhibition, Three, featuring Fern Bowen, Carl Aldana and Lori LaMont, all of whom are Long Beach-based painters.
Lastly, the media sponsor of the event is the LBC’s own District Weekly, so giveaways in the form of T-shirts and vintage issues may ensue.
Already have plans tonight? Don’t fret — the Three exhibition will be on display through June 8 and more LBMA After Dark events are in the works. As for the Fallopian Artopians, check out www.fallopianartopians.com for upcoming events.
