Unveiling and Opening Reception

UPDATE: Cal State Long Beach has made the decision to postpone the Opening Reception and Unveiling of the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum due to state and local Covid-19 protocols and safety considerations for the public and students. We will announce any new events associated with the opening.

We are excited to celebrate the new redesigned Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum complex that introduces fresh attractions and features, including several new galleries and public spaces. Now transformed, the Museum can better serve visitors with more accessible upgraded facilities, inclusive policies, and multi-use spaces that make the only free museum in Long Beach welcoming for everyone. Visitors of all ages can soon experience free programs in exhibition spaces, an Education Laboratory, native and water-wise plant gardens, a refreshed Patron’s Plaza, and a broadened public art park and landscape with even more sculptural works. Unprecedented collection access, a new museum store with Cal State Long Beach alumni-crafted functional art, and flexible spaces for research and learning opportunities offer something for everyone to enjoy.
