The Art Theatre of Long Beach is a one-of-a-kind return to the golden age of cinema. Originally built in 1924, the interiors and exterior have been lovingly restored and updated to current state of the art in comfort, convenience and entertainment technology. The Art offers a completely unique theatre experience of gourmet sight, sound, and taste. It has everything you need for a great night (or day) out.

Named one of the top 5 indie movie theatres in Los Angeles, the Art 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 $1 million of restoration and the addition of a wine bar and coffee bar to round out a full evening experience, we are proud to continue this long-running tradition.
