The citizens of Laguna Beach are some of the most talented individuals you’re likely to encounter. Behind the ivy-draped picket fences tucked among the town’s hillside neighborhoods are a band of creative residents working in a variety of artistic mediums. Some pay homage to the town’s original settlers by painting plein air landscapes, while others are busy sculpting future masterpieces from clay. There are also musical performers, thespians and crafters who are regular fixtures at the many summer festivals. We invite you to browse through the directories complied by the City of Laguna Beach, Festival of Arts, Sawdust Art Festival and Art-A-Fair–a virtual Who’s Who of artistic individuals living and creating in Laguna Beach.
