Laguna Beach Entertainment and Events - Week of July 15th - July 21st, 2013

Main Events
Date Facility Special Event/ Happening
Faux Real - a collection of works by contemporary artists who mimic reality with a playful twist, in the process raising questions of authenticity and duplication. Often using off-beat materials, and showing a sly sense of humor, they take as their subject-matter items that anyone might pass over without a second thought, such as food, furniture, or domestic knick-knacks. By turning the ordinary into art, they get us to think about how things are made, what they are made from, and how we see them in our everyday experience. John Mason Blue Wall Blue Wall is the culmination of a period of large-scale sculptural work beginning in 1957. It is now regarded as a landmark in the history of ceramic art and a masterpiece of Abstract Expressionism. Exceptional Fine Art by 125 artists. Fine Dining. Live Entertainment. Celebrating 47 years! Open daily SunThurs. 10am-9pm and Fri-Sat. 10am-10pm. Adults $7.00, Seniors (60+), military & students $4.00, children 12 & under free with adult. Experience 200 local artists.
