Family Art Night in Long Beach, CA: Create A Self-Portrait

Long Beach families gathered tonight for something special: a colorful evening of self-portrait making, mindfulness, and community connection. Whether you’re a parent, teen, or child, this family-friendly art workshop is designed to spark creativity and bring everyone together through the joy of painting.

Why Self-Portraits?

Self-portraits are a powerful way to explore identity, emotions, and self-expression. In this Los Angeles family art event, we’ll use bright colors, bold patterns, and mindful practices to create portraits that reflect who we are in this moment.

This workshop encourages every participant to:

  • Play with color to express moods and energy.

  • Add meaningful symbols like flowers, waves, or stars that represent personal stories.

  • Slow down with mindfulness, turning art-making into a calming practice.

Why It Matters

In a busy city like Los Angeles and Long Beach, finding spaces for families to slow down and connect is invaluable. Family art events in Los Angeles County allow parents and children to pause, breathe, and create something lasting together. Self-portraits remind us that each family member’s identity and story is important—and art becomes the bridge that brings those stories to color.
