Look, 29 days out of the month your wallet may cringe at the mere thought of a night out in Laguna Beach, but on the first Thursday night of the month, your wallet will jump with glee at the thought of only being used for your ID and to take a few bucks out of for tips. Free art, free music, free entertainment, free drinks... and even free transportation. These galleries really know how to do it up for artwalk, they don't just set out a bottle of Beringer like some art walks, nope you may get a Newcastle at one gallery, a martini at the next, and a glass of wine at the next. They definitely mix it up. There's always interesting artwork in the galleries, and the gallery owners are generally super fun to talk to and don't hound you to buy, buy, buy. I really love how everyone in attendance is in a great mood and just out to have a good time - it's such a great vibe.

I particularly liked the oil paintings, which were priced from $100 to $1,000 based on size and artist. Customers are not allowed to take Photos of the paintings without the artist's permission, I am not able to share photos with you. Hand-made cards and jewelry were also for sale and very reasonably priced. I just love pearls and did see some that I really liked, but they did not have electronic payments available the weekend I went, it was cash only. Make note of this in case you want to make a purchase. I do believe the credit card system would be up and running soon. The first Saturday of every month is an art fair, next to the Lubrary. Annual membership is $60 and gets you free admission to the fair, non-menbers pay $10. Sign up for art demonstrations, classes or orher upcoming events on their website. Don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!!

My favorite aritsts shown here include Thomas Campbell, Wolfgang Bloch, Andy Davis, Bud Brown, John Severson, Ron Stoner, Patrick Trefz... photos, paintings, mixed media... and they have a good selection of the Surfer's Journal's Masters of Surf Photography for sale.

Even when I asked to increase my reservation from 15 attendees to 19 the day before the event, the team was quick to provide. Robin (the teacher) even delayed the class when one of the attendee's Uber put the wrong address in their GPS and ended up on the opposite side of town. The class was easy to follow, fun, and everyone walked away with a painting they loved! The setup and scenery was beautiful: the patio looked over the beach which made for great photos. The Laguna Art Lounge also worked with the 4 kids in attendance by having them paint their own creations with plenty of glitter and fun colors. The attendees were wowed by the venue scenery and workstaff. The food was great, the wine and Champaign were a-plenty. I was even able to bring my own party favors and set up a display. I would recommend this venue to any body in the Laguna Beach area!

The appetizer/dessert table had playing cards and gold poker chips to continue the humorous theme. The table also had a water dispenser to wash down their chocolate custard desserts, brownies, crackers, root beer candies, etc. They proudly display 16 different artists whose names are easily seen at the top of the walls (above their masterpieces) or next to their one-of-a-kind sculptures. While grazing at the food table, these stylish red shoes popped out of this painting but I can't recall the artist's name; maybe Chuck Joseph. Paris' Eiffel Tower was the black & white backdrop picture. Makes me want to get those shoes AND the painting to match. One of Ernie Jones' oil paintings caught my eye on the opposite wall: "Up On The Roof."
