Call For Artists
Beach Ticket Booth Painting Project (Phase 2)
The City of Long Beach is making several of its boardwalk beach ticket booths available to artists to be painted with a cohesive mural design. If you are interested, please submit your artwork through the link below by the deadline.
Description of Work:
Mural designs should cover all four exterior sides of each beach ticket booth station, including doors and windows.
The City will secure sponsors for each booth, and artists will be asked to paint their booth sponsor's logo somewhere visible (approximately 1×1ft in size).
Artists are to supply their own materials. Only exterior grade paint may be used.
Painting will be done in-place on the boardwalk. Locations are TBD.
Painting should be completed in one day. Note ticket booths will be pre-primed by the City.
Artists will be permitted to sign their work and include social media handles.
Payment: $500 payment, plus up to $100 reimbursement for supplies.
Timeline:
Thursday May 21 (Midnight) - Deadline to submit renderings
May 22 - 29 - Winning artists will be selected and notified
May 29 - June 14 - Painting window. Each artist may choose the day they would like to paint. Painting should be done by June 14 or earlier.
Additional Information
Submissions that include only AI generated artwork are discouraged. If you submit an AI generated design, it should be accompanied by actual artwork that demonstrates your artistic style/design/skill.
Multiple beach ticket booths will be made available, so it’s anticipated that multiple artists will be procured.
If you already submitted artwork through Phase 1 of this project (i.e. submissions that were due April 19, 2026), then your previous submission will be considered for Phase 2, so there is no need to resubmit.
