Welcome to Creative Art Events!
Art for Everyone. Community for All.
At Creative Art Events, we believe that creativity should be easily accessible, fun for everyone, and shared with everyone. We host inclusive, hands-on workshops and events where people of all ages and backgrounds can explore their artistic side with no experience required! From sewing classes in the park to turning recycled materials into runway-ready fashion at the Trashion Show Long Beach, we are here to make art a tool for connection and confidence.

Join Creative Art Events and make a craft while waiting for your repairs!
We will be bringing items to upcycle into one of a kind gifts, wearables, sculptures and whatever comes to mind.
Perfect way to take a break and meet other community members.
Date: Saturday, April 25
Time: 12 - 3 PM
Location: Michelle Obama Neigborhood Library, 5870 Atlantic Ave. Long Beach, CA
What is a Fix It Clinic?
Fixit Clinics are designed as learn-by-doing workshops, where residents work alongside volunteer Fixit Coaches to understand how their items function and how they might be fixed. Together, residents and coaches open items, diagnose issues, and work toward possible repairs while building skills along the way. Even if a repair doesn’t succeed, residents leave with useful knowledge to help troubleshoot future issues.
The Long Beach Fixit Clinics are open to all ages, and minors must be accompanied by an adult, giving residents the opportunity to learn together and promote multigenerational knowledge sharing and better consumer habits.
Repair is an effective way to reduce waste, save money, conserve natural resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This program also supports the City of Long Beach’s waste and emission reduction goals outlined in the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.
