The former Hippodrome Skating Rink (built in 1920), and a once thriving movie studio, combined to become the Museum of Latin American Art (MoLAA)--the only museum in the West to focus exclusively on the contemporary art of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean--opened in 1996 and officially unveiled the development of the East Village Arts District in downtown Long Beach.
Other possibilities include: A performance of "Nisei Voices: Japanese American Students of the 1930s Then and Now" at the Japanese American National Museum; a samba dance and drumming class at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach; "Risk," an exhibit at the California Science Center, where visitors can lie on a bed of nails or play cards and other games of chance while learning about risk; or "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Sunday" comedy at Groundlings.
The festival arrives at E for All Expo following its opening weekend September 20-21, 2008 at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, and it concludes October 12, 2008 at Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena.
