Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach Airport (LGB) celebrated its centennial year with the unveiling of a new public art installation, "A Flight to History," by renowned Southern California-based artist Marconi. The large vinyl mural is now on display on the façade of one of the Airport's parking structures.
Mayor Rex Richardson said, "Long Beach has always been a city of creativity and innovation. 'A Flight to History' not only pays tribute to our aviation legacy but also showcases the value our community places on public art. It is a beautiful representation of Long Beach's past, present and future."
The colorful mural on Parking Structure A, closest to the Historic Terminal, was officially unveiled Wednesday, Nov. 29. It is 60 feet by 30 feet, providing visual delight for travelers entering and exiting the Ticketing Lobby. Fourth District Councilman Daryl Supernaw said that this piece of art celebrates their history and is perfectly placed to welcome arriving passengers to their Airport and their beautiful city. Fifth District Councilwoman Megan Kerr added that the addition of this colorful and historically significant mural is a wonderful way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of one their City's most important assets.

The artwork was selected from a pool of nearly 100 applicants in partnership with the Arts Council of Long Beach with Marconi receiving $10,000 for his work. Airport Director Cynthia Guidry said that this incredible artwork serves as a reminder of their 100th anniversary and captures the essence of their Airport's rich history, its integral role in Long Beach's growth and evolution, and the vibrant spirit of their community. Arts Council Executive Director Griselda Suarez added that Marconi's piece creates a visual representation of the Airport's past century and bright future in Long Beach.
Smaller works by five runner-up artists will be displayed soon in a special post-security temporary exhibit planned for the North and South Concourses with each semifinalist being paid $1,500 for their art. The project was funded through Long Beach Airport's participation in the City's Percent for the Arts Program which designates funding for on-Airport art projects.
