Ewert said, yet the space maintains an open,
airy and uncluttered atmosphere. The styles
of art in the gallery run the gamut, from
paintings, jewelry and fi ber arts to I ndig-
enous arts, woodwork and found object
assemblage. BOLD also showcases a vari-
ety of local musicians.
“There is a very, very high density of
incredibly talented people here, but it’s
really diffi cult for an artist to connect with
the public,” Holmes said, highlighting that
BOLD was designed to off er a suitable
space where artists can share their work.
The store’s full custom framing shop
was a natural supplement to the gallery,
especially as the previous business included
a part-time framing service. Addition-
ally, guests often will purchase artworks in
hopes of having them framed. Ewert envi-
sioned the coff ee stand, hoping that guests
would be “walking around, looking at art
and drinking coff ee,” Ewert said.
“We want people to leave here feeling
better about themselves, whether that’s art-
ists or a person purchasing the art,” Ewert
said. Since opening, Ewert and Holmes
have continued to foster their vision of a
community space.
Local groups now hold meetings on the
shop’s outdoor patio, which features fi re pits,
outdoor art installations and a garden area.
BOLD Coff ee, Art, and Framing hosts a gallery
with works by local painters, sculptors,
woodworkers and more.

BOLD Coff ee, Art, and Framing sits along Pacifi c Avenue in Long Beach, just blocks from the boardwalk.
Handmade greeting cards are on sale
inside, with all proceeds going to benefi t
the South Pacifi c County Humane Society.
Once per month, the gallery opens exclu-
sively for residents of the Golden Sands
senior housing community so they can
shop, socialize and drink coff ee in a safe
environment.
As pandemic restrictions subside, Ewert
and Holmes hope to integrate live music,
artist receptions and other social events to
promote and enrich the arts on the penin-
sula. They also want to spend more time
augmenting their outdoor patio space.
“Being recognized for customer service
and excellence in coff ee and gallery space,
for us it’s feedback that we’re on the right
track. We’re connecting with people. The
challenge every day is to be better, just to
keep upping the bar,” Holmes said.
BOLD Coff ee, Art and Framing off ers delicious
baked goods, including many gluten free
options, as well as espresso drinks.
