east village art deco building		 This revitalized Art Deco building looks as if it could be located in Miami.  Built in the same era as Miami's South Beach, it still serves as apartment and, downstairs, a laundry for Long Beach residents.   Along Ocean Blvd. there are many other Art Deco apartment buildings.

Long Beach's East Village Arts neighborhood is a great place to take a walking tour to see the public art and 1920s architecture.  This area is experiencing a gentrification which means that there is a mix of buildings and businesses -- some old, some newly restored.  

Coffee houses  for the young, hip residents sit side by side with barbershops for their longtime East Village neighbors.  But the public art makes it more than just another gentrifying neighborhood.

Starting at Ocean and Elm, walk north and east to find murals, sculpture and painted kiosks at every turn.   Along Elm there are a few art galleries featuring local painters and artisans. 

The District ends at the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) at 7th and Alamitos, which contains a superb collection of world-class paintings and sculpture from North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean. 

And here is some of the art you will see as you walk around the area:
