I confess I didnt get very far on the evening I went (12/6) as it was raining hard when I arrived, followed by talking most of the evening with an artist at one of the galleries. But that is one of the pleasures of these type events. It was very enjoyable interacting with locals and seeing the few galleries that I did on the north end. But as I have a bit of experience attending these type events both domestically and internationally, as a visitor I can tell you that Laguna Beachs art scene is among the best youll find anywhere. I used to do First Thursday in Seattle frequently and it was no comparison to this. Ive always felt the artists who put these spots on the maps when they formed art colonies like they did here, drawn by their love of beautiful places, were well ahead of their time as new residents followed suit.

Really enjoyed getting to know artists such as Todd Kenyon during this Laguna Beach free event. It also enjoyed listening to classical guitarist Nicholas Yrizarry at the Laguna Art Museum during the Art Walk, for free. It’s a great night to be in Laguna and a wonderful way to experience the town’s arts scene.

Nice chance to socialize amd look for new art
