Community Art Project

MISSION STATEMENT: Our mission is to increase the visibility and appreciation of art and serve as a catalyst for art education.

Community Art Project (CAP) is a non-profit arts organization established in 1998. Among the founding directors were former members of the Laguna Beach Arts Commission, whose vision was to fill needs not met by existing City and private art organizations, including the facilitation of placing artwork on privately owned sites. Since its inception, CAP has partnered with dozens of artists and private property owners in the downtown area to install sculptures and murals in the public view.

Be sure to see CAP’s latest mural installation Ripple Effect, dedicated in February 2022, at 328 Glenneyre at the corner of Mermaid Street. This colorful mural was created by Timothy Robert Smith with 14 students from his mural art class at Laguna College of Art + Design.

CAP also curates art exhibits at locations within Laguna Beach to showcase area artists. Contact us if you have an exhibit venue, are an artist wishing to be considered for exhibition or a public art installation, or to offer ideas on private property sites for future art installations.
