Announcing POW! WOW! Long Beach 2016: The time for mural painting among palm trees is swiftly approaching. As a proud supporter of POW! WOW!, the Montana Team is eagerly looking forward to this upcoming event. From July 11th to the 16th, the POW! WOW! Long Beach festival returns to sunny Florida. This global art movement, founded by Jasper Wong and Kamea Hadar as “POW! WOW! Hawaii“, has rapidly expanded across the globe including events held in other locations, such as Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Long Beach, Rochester, Israel, Singapore, Jamaica, Washington D.C., Guam, New Zealand, Germany and more.

After the vast success of the POW! WOW! Long Beach festival previous year, this year’s roster has been kicked up a notch. Artists from all over the world are flying in to create yet another memorable experience. With a packed range of events including mural painting, exhibitions, talks and screenings, this week long festival will include talks with Ernest Zacharevic, Martha Cooper and Hula. The week kicks off with the opening of the “Vitality & Verve: In the Third Dimension” exhibition, which is presented by the Long Beach Museum of Art, Thinkspace Gallery and POW! WOW!.
