Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach
More than 80 years ago a group of artist joined together to sell original artwork along Laguna's main street.
Hundreds of dedicated volunteers have won recognition for the Pageant of the Masters as the best presentation of its kind.
Celebrating their 90th anniversary, Pageant of the Masters is arguably one of the most unique productions in the entire world. This 90-minute performance brings famous works of art to life on the stage. Taking place at the Festival of Arts grounds in Laguna Beach, audiences are amazed by tableaux vivants ("living pictures"), incredibly faithful re-creations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces.
ART COLONY: IN THE COMPANY OF ARTISTS acknowledges the deep connections of the Festival and Pageant to the early artists who settled in Laguna Beach. It will also feature other memorable stories of artists assisting one another through cooperation and fellowship in vastly different eras and circumstances around the world.
July 7 - September 1, 2023 (starts at 8:30 p.m. and lasts for 90 minutes)
650 Laguna Canyon Road Laguna Beach, CA 92651 (outdoor amphitheater)
