Laguna is home to a vibrant community of artists, each with their own captivating studio.

We’ll rendezvous at the Laguna Historical Society, 278 Ocean Ave in downtown Laguna Beach, right next to Whole Foods.
Our adventure will begin in one of two galleries depending on the exhibition schedule.
We’ll either start in a gallery, showcasing a rotating selection of meticulously curated shows, with a special emphasis on Southern California artists. The gallery itself, spanning 4,200 square feet, boasts a rich history that's nearly as captivating as the art it hosts. We'll enjoy a guided tour led by a docent talking about the current exhibition.
Or we’ll have a guided tour of an photographic odyssey captured by renowned photographers around the globe. Each photograph stands as a masterpiece, weaving its own compelling narrative.
Next, we'll make our way to a gallery spotlighting the work of a local artist celebrated for their unique technique, crafting pieces that are truly spellbinding. These artworks are bound to intrigue you, and we'll have the privilege of another docent-led tour. With any luck, we might even have the chance to meet the artist.
From here we’ll stroll to a contemporary art gallery where a local artist skillfully captures intimate visual experiences that encapsulate the essence of our daily lives, validating moments of significance. From the simple pleasures of a morning cup of coffee, to the eloquence found in rumpled bed sheets, or the grace of a vase of flowers on a table, each painting is considered a poetic expression by the artist. We will have a tour of the gallery with the artists wife and again if we’re lucky, the artist might be available to not only talk about his art, but also share excerpts from one of his books of short stories.
To wrap up our artistic adventure, we'll head to a nearby Laguna restaurant to unwind with a cocktail or mocktail, reflecting on the highlights of our journey.
If you're seeking dining recommendations, we're happy to suggest some notable establishments in the area to extend your exploration.
