The BEAT will bring together local Long Beach businesses and community amenities to create yet another place that Long Beach residents can be proud to be part of. ​The BEAT will provide a venue for artists to collaborate, crafters to make, musicians to perform, chefs to create, poets to express and enthusiasts to experience. ​The passion and authenticity of local Long Beach artists, musicians, crafters, and creative souls will activate and reignite a thriving Uptown rhythm. At the heart of The BEAT is the Michelle Obama Library, a state of the art center, serving the community through educational experiences.
