You are cordially invited to submit your application for the 47th annual Art-A-Fair Festival, one of three premier art shows held each summer in beautiful Laguna Beach, California.
Laguna Beach is famous for its artist's community. But Art-A-Fair goes beyond to discover artists from around the world and in other parts of the country as well as those who live right here in Laguna. Art-A-Fair jurists pride themselves on selecting art in all mediums for its summer Festival that will be rich in quality yet diverse in content so that every visitor to Art-A-Fair will connect with at least one artist's work.
Visitors are invited to leisurely walk among the artists as they create. Have a conversation and learn what inspired them or just quietly absorb the lovely garden ambiance of this artist's haven. You'll feel artistic passion all around, and when you want to take some of that home with you, it's easy. Two and three dimensional art abounds in every medium, including oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics, drawings, photography, digital art, mixed media, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, glass and wood.
On weekends, Art-A-Fair bustles with live entertainment. Tivoli Too!, conveniently located on the grounds at Art-A-Fair and known for its epicurean cuisine, serves daily. Your day at Art-A-Fair wouldn't be complete without a delicious lunch or dinner and one of their famous margaritas!
Art-A-Fair is a membership organization and an artist cooperative. As an exhibiting artist/member you will become an integral part of the show operations. Artists work a designated six-hour work shift per week and must attend a training session for the shift. There are three or four mandatory meetings throughout the year.
