Celebrating Young Artists in LBUSD

The 40th Annual Norman Gottlieb Student Art Exhibition is coming to the Alpert Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Long Beach, showcasing the incredible talents of middle and high school students from Long Beach Unified School District.

The exhibition begins on February 7 and lasts until March 21, featuring a diverse selection of incredible artwork created by students across LBUSD. As an annual collaboration with the Gatov Gallery, Long Beach Unified students are able to have their artwork displayed in a collection highlighting their creativity and be celebrated amongst the community.

The exhibition was established over 30 years ago by former AJCC President Norman Gottlieb and it continues to honor his vision of supporting young artists, which remains a unique tradition for the students and the community. Awards are presented to three outstanding middle and high school students, recognizing their exceptional artistic achievements and hard work. The exhibition is free and open to the public, with the Awards Reception taking place on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at 6 p.m.

This exhibition reflects the skills and dedication of LBUSD students and the System Portrait that supports them. Visit the Gatov Gallery soon to experience the work of these inspiring young artists.
