Always up-to-date and available to anyone at anytime, participants in the calendar include The Center Long Beach, LBLGP (Long Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride Inc.), and LBCBN (Long Beach Community Business Network). Postings range from announcements of “Bear Bar” nights every second Saturday at Club Ripples to meetings of the LAMBDA Democratic Club.

The calendar is the brainchild of event production consultant Elisa McConnehea. “My vision,” says McConnehea, “is to give people one place to find out both where the parties are, and where to volunteer. The calendar’s purpose is twofold: to coordinate the activities of the GLBTQ organizations in Long Beach and, more importantly, to give residents one resource for all their many offerings.”

About The Art Theatre:
Voted THE NUMBER ONE INDEPENDENT THEATRE in Long Beach by OC Weekly and District Weekly, the Art opened as a silent movie theatre and included a pipe organ and orchestra pit. It is the oldest operating single screen house in Long Beach in 1924. Our art deco, streamline moderne-style historical landmark is famous for its screening of the most imaginative and stimulating independent, documentary, animated, alternative lifestyle, and foreign language films. After one million dollars of loving restoration, and the addition of a wine bar and coffee bar to round out a full evening experience, we are proud to continue this long-running tradition.
