About
Laguna Beach has been an art colony for more than a century, and on the first Thursday of every month the whole town shows it off. First Thursday Art Walk is a free evening celebration of Laguna's diverse art scene, officially from 6 to 9 p.m., with galleries and art institutions across town opening their doors to visitors.
Stroll from gallery to gallery, meet artists and see new work, then hop on the free trolley, which runs extended routes for Art Walk visitors. Laguna Art Museum offers complimentary admission from 5 to 9 p.m., and Hotel Laguna gets an early start at 5 p.m., featuring three selected artists.
The Art Walk is funded by member galleries, local art institutions, lodging establishments and the City of Laguna Beach. Laguna's free public trolleys also run year-round, on a schedule that changes with the season.
