Each of the talented exhibitors brings their unique artistic style to the shows and exemplifies the mission of LCAD - - to prepare women and men for careers as creative artists and designers in a culturally rich and ethnically diverse environment.

“Our beret is off to the Arts Commission and Cultural Arts Manager Siân Poeschl for doing one more thing that keeps the buzz going in the visual arts in Laguna Beach. Great art matters, even on the walls at City Hall. My personal congratulations to the five artists associated with the Laguna College of Art & Design -- you are part of the next generation of great artists,” said LCAD President Dennis Power.

The exhibition is on display Mon-Fri from 8am-5pm through November 21 at Laguna Beach City Hall.
