Laguna Beach is a wonderful place to visit since it is a seaside resort with its own artist community. It is nothing but a paradise for people of art: beautiful landscape, picturesque and ‘excited’ ocean, and many different people really drive you to open your mind and take a look from a different angle on what you have never noticed before. What one might see amazes imagination and inspires on creation of personal works of art.

Local art galleries feature traditional fine art and contemporary art, California art, Wildlife art, Indian pottery, sculpture, fine art photography, paintings, and other types of visual art. If you’re interested in collecting art or just like to visit art gallery these are the galleries of Laguna Beach. The first Thursday of every month most of them in Laguna Beach participate in the monthly gallery walk. First Thursdays Art Walk is funded by Member Galleries, the lodging establishments and the City of Laguna Beach. A courtesy shuttle bus is available and the Museum is also offering free admission for the evening.
