The Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach is an annual event that has been running since 1932. It showcases the work of over 140 artists exhibiting and demonstrating fine art including painting, sculpture, photography, jewelry, ceramics, glass and mixed media. Originally founded by the Laguna Beach Art Association to provide artists with a venue to display their work and engage with the public, it has grown into a significant cultural institution. The festival grounds are located on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean and also include live music, theatrical performances, art workshops and culinary arts demonstrations throughout its run each summer. The festival operates as a non-profit organization, with proceeds supporting art education programs and artist assistance.
