Laguna Beach’s The Festival of Arts – one of the nation’s most highly acclaimed and attended juried fine art shows, returns July 5 for its 77th season. It will run through August 31, with the exception of August 29.
Once again, this multimedia art show promises to impress visitors with fine original works for sale by over 145 nationally and internationally known and award-winning artists.
The offerings will also include nightly musical entertainment and special events, enticing guests to come back repeatedly all summer long. The Festival of the Arts is California’s longest-running outdoor fine art show and was voted outstanding arts organization by Arts Orange County in 2008.
American Style Magazine also listed it as one of the top 10 art shows in the United States two times in the last five years.
“The Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach is a summertime tradition that captivates us with outstanding artwork, music and special events,” says Sharbie Higuchi, director, Marketing and Public Relations for the Festival of Arts. “It showcases the finest original art from the coastal cities of Orange County, covering a complete spectrum of art media: from painting to jewelry to photography to handcrafted furniture and more.”
