Artist Eye celebrates association’s 45th
Artist Eye Laguna Gallery will join in a celebration with Orange County Fine Arts Assn. as the organization celebrates its 45th anniversary.
The public is invited to join in the festivities at a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception during First Thursdays Art Walk from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday.
The celebration continues Dec. 6 with an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. at the gallery, and a special reception at Showcase Gallery, Bear and Sunflower streets in South Coast Plaza Village.
Orange County Fine Arts Assn., along with its member galleries — Artist Eye Laguna Gallery in Laguna Beach; Avantgarden Gallery in Artist’s Village, Santa Ana; and Bear Street and Showcase Galleries in South Coast Plaza Village — promotes art education by providing art scholarships to six Orange County community college foundations.
“Since our founding in 1964 as the Costa Mesa Art League, OCFA has been positively impacting the Orange County community as a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing lives through outreach and activities in the arts,” said Laura Rice Robinson, OCFA president.
“Artist Eye Laguna Gallery was founded in May 2008 as a partnership of artists who met through OCFA, and who contribute a diversity of individual experiences from business and the world of art,” said Ann Jones, gallery director. “Each month, the gallery comes to life with a fantastic display of original works of art, sculpture and jewelry. During November and December, we’re offering an eclectic blend of original art works, holiday gifts, jewelry, prints and cards.”
Artist Eye Laguna Gallery is at 1294 S. Coast Hwy., Suite A. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, 1 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, visit www.artisteyelagunagallery.com or call (949) 497- 5898.
