Small Business Showcase: Atlantic Avenue, North Long Beach

By: Annette Semerdjian

Artist Cynthia Lujan opened Flatline Art Gallery with her co-director, Elizabeth Munzon, last year. Both Lujan and Munzon had experience in putting on exhibitions in alternative spaces before opening the art gallery. Each month, either Lujan or Munzon curate a show at Flatline Art Gallery to exhibit visual art from the Long Beach community. The gallery showcases photography, painting, sculptures, digital media and more from Long Beach artists. One of the important aspects of the gallery is to link art with education by showcasing former or current Long Beach university students, both at the undergraduate and graduate level. “Our mission is to connect Cal State Long Beach students, alumni and local artists to the Greater L.A. arts community,” Lujan said. Artists showcased in the gallery’s exhibitions may also be people who are involved with the local arts community but do not live in the area.
