Long Beach Artists Give The Stache Bar a Fresh Face - Long Beach Post
Excerpt:
That mural recently painted on the exterior of The Stache Bar that you thought might have been related to POW! WOW! Long Beach was actually an entirely independent operation.
Designed and painted by roughly 15 members of FA4 Collective, a Long Beach-based group of working artists composed of Cal State Long Beach (CSULB) alumni, Long Beach and Southern California residents, the project was co-coordinated by facilitators Cynthia Luján and Ciana Lee. Lujan’s coworker at the Arts Council for Long Beach, fellow CSULB alumna and artist, Lisa DeSmidt, who owns the bar, collaborated and commissioned the group to make it happen.
...The mural’s figures of reference were Amy Winehouse and Morrissey, but are not rendered directly after them, while the work also incorporates design elements from La Frida Mexican Cuisine next door. The collective named the piece Partners in Crime, or Cómplices in Spanish.
