Since its 1950 inception as the Municipal Art Center and then in 1957 as the Long Beach Museum of Art, LBMA has exhibited and collected works of art in all media, including painting, sculpture, contemporary craft, and design, with many pieces donated by generous supporters.

LBMA welcomes gifts of works of art* that support the Museum’s mission and augment its collection. If you have artworks that you believe may be of interest to LBMA, please contact:
Paul Loya, Deputy Director of Collections and Exhibitions at paull@lbma.org
Susie Marquez, Registrar and Collections Manager at susiem@lbma.org
 
*Due to storage limitations, LBMA cannot accept every offered gift of art. However, the Museum deeply appreciates all such generous contributions to its collection.
