Voted Number One
Voted THE NUMBER ONE INDEPENDENT THEATRE in Los Angeles, the Art Theatre 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. 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, the addition of a wine bar and coffee bar, The Art Theatre Long Beach is the perfect destination for memorable evening.
