Pow! Wow! Long Beach, a contemporary art festival, recently took over Long Beach, California — both in and off the streets, with an accompanying exhibit at the Long Beach Museum of Art (LBMA) called “Vitality & Verve in the Third Dimension.”

JH: There were a lot more fine artists this year, which I really enjoyed seeing. I know the vision for the event was for it to be more than a mural festival and this year was the most diverse. I really enjoyed meeting Wayne White, he is a genius, so to meet him and his wife Mimi and get to help him build some cardboard heads for an afternoon was special.
