The ‘50s Fun, FEAR and Rock ‘n’ RollPRESENTED BY THE ARTS COUNCIL FOR LONG BEACH
Ten years ago, Arts Council for Long Beach signed an agreement with the Smithsonian Institution on behalf of the City of Long Beach to bring arts, culture and scholar’s from our nation’s museums to Long Beach. Every year, ACLB presents 7 days and 7 nights of free in-school and community events and presentations and a gala event. This year, the Smithsonian Week theme is The ‘50s, Fun, FEAR, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Topics include paint-by-numbers, product promotion through parade floats and window displays, and the birth of the “jet set.” Fears of the cold war, Communism, and the bomb present the other side of the /0s. School children will discover and adults recall this unforgettable decade. Scores of community partners join the arts council to support this annual festival of learning.
