The Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach has come a long way since its humble beginnings as an impromptu street fair 91 years ago. Today, the event has grown into a prestigious juried show of 100-plus artists that runs for two months, this year from July 5 through September 1, in tandem with the legendary theatrical performance, The Pageant of the Masters.
Set in a stunning outdoor pavilion, the fine art show features a diverse selection of artwork including paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, jewelry and more, made by artists from around Orange County,. "Avid art collectors and festival-goers will have an outstanding variety of fine art to browse and purchase as they walk among the artists' displays," says marketing and public relations director Sharbie Higuchi.
In addition to the abundance of artwork, the Festival of Arts also includes a wide range of daily activities for the whole family including nightly live music, guided art tours, daily art workshops and other weekly series including Concerts on the Green, and Art, Jazz, Wine and Chocolate. There are also several special one-day events including annual favorites like the Festival Runway Fashion Show and Junior Artists Celebration.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
Monster Mash
Vampires, witches, ghouls and all things that go bump in the night are the theme of the exhibition Monster Mash, now at Abend Gallery.
Inside/Outside
Those familiar with Geoffrey Johnson's populated by inky figures and trailing shadows that bleed into the wet streets, and architectural elements obscured to varying degrees by the misty atmosphere.
Bold Figures; Bold Color
For Brooklyn based painter J Louis, it’s all about balance, which can mean many different things in a composition, but for Louis, it’s about balancing his female figures among a unique landscape of color.
