On Saturday, August 13, 1932, the Festival of Arts opened its doors for the very first time as two dozen artists hung their paintings on fences, trees, and buildings along Laguna’s main street hoping to lure tourists to the first Festival of Arts.
This summer, on Tuesday, July 5, 2022, the world-renowned Festival of Arts Fine Art Show will open its doors to celebrate 90 years of art, welcoming hundreds of patrons to relish in one of the
nation’s top fine art festivals. The Festival of Arts is sponsored in part by Volvo, Fidelity Investments, Celebrity Cruises, KOST Radio 103.5, and The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel.
In celebration of its 90th anniversary, the Festival of Arts will host 120 award-winning artists
from July 5 through September 2. This professionally juried fine art show features a diverse selection of artwork including paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, jewelry, and more from artists around Orange County. Since its opening in 1932, thousands have shown and sold their artwork
at the Festival and many have their work featured in the private collections of leading art collectors, celebrities, and museums around the world.
