 Beach Photos of Laguna Beach Art - Artist Vacation Pictures

 

 

A beautiful day in Laguna Beach can bring out the artist in you. Set to the backdrop of beaches (over 20 of them!,) Laguna Beach has been known and recognized as an artists' colony for over 100 years. For those who enjoy art but cannot create, you've come to the right place to view art, visit galleries, attend special art events and be surrounded by art every where you look.

 

Many known names or Who's Who figures in the art world sell their creations in Laguna Beach. From Laguna Art Museum, to Pageant of the Masters which is a stage production featuring the great art works, Laguna Beach maintains a year round schedule of art events.

 

All year long visitors can enjoy the galleries, large street banners with unique art and the Art Museum. The Laguna Beach Art Museum offer rotating display featuring mixed media and a variety of themes. On one visit we saw a surf art exhibition, which they said was new and wouldn't be long-term. It featured pop art of the 60s culture, and was actually quite interesting.

 

Seasonal events such a winter art festival, summer Sawdust Festival and first Thursday ArtWalk, make Laguna a place to enjoy and appreciate. While Laguna Beach sells the usual tourist knick knacks and beach gifts, an extensive offering of galleries and gifts stores with art sculptures, paintings and artwork make Laguna the #1 Orange County destination for art.
