CELEBRATING CREATIVITY
LAGUNA ’ S FESTIVALS GEAR UP FOR ANOTHER FUN-FILLED SUMMER OF ART , MUSIC AND MORE .
By JULIA CLERK
LAGUNA BEACH IS KNOWN FAR AND wide for its eclectic arts scene , A legacy of producing and promoting art that stretches back to the early 20th century when Norman St . Clair ’ s paintings were the talk of the 1904 Annual Spring Exhibition in San Francisco . Capturing the essence of the Southern California coastal city , St . Clair ’ s watercolor landscapes attracted other artists to Laguna Beach . So many , in fact , that by 1918 they were inspired to start the Laguna Beach Art Association .
The city has never looked back and , each summer , the Laguna Beach arts scene ramps up again with a variety of creative events that attract visitors and locals alike .
