First Thursdays Art Walk was founded as an independent, community-serving, non-profit with the mission to promote Laguna Beach as a leading destination and community of fine art galleries. The organization is committed to supporting local artists and galleries, serving the community by cultivating an appreciation for the arts.

Since its founding, FTAW member galleries, arts organizations, sponsors, and grantors create a unique fine arts experience for the Laguna Beach community and cultural visitors, and provide local lodging establishments with a monthly arts event to offer their guests.
