Everyone who likes public art will love the LOCA Art Talks gathering at Rivian South Coast Theater in downtown Laguna Beach.  Read more and register here.

Local artist Mike Tauber will present a lively slide-show of 25 pieces throughout the downtown area, including murals, sculptures, and temporary pieces. Tauber, who worked with many of the artists, will share fascinating background stories about many of the originals, including his own.

Among the guest presenters is Marsh Scott, who will do a “deep dive” into her metal and glass sculpture “Colors of the Canyon” on Broadway Street. She will explain the process of creating the work, from concept, to design, to budgeting, presentation for approvals, fabrication, and installation.

Upon conclusion, everyone will receive a post-event certificate for 15%-off food at nearby Lumberyard Restaurant.
