About

foaSOUTH is the Festival of Arts gallery on South Coast Highway, run by the nonprofit that has shown Laguna artists since 1932. This season, its walls turn to one of art's oldest subjects: what we eat.

Substance and Sustenance: Food as Art traces that thread from ancient cave paintings to the still lifes of the Dutch Golden Age, and on to food as a shared sign of abundance and community. It's an easy stop on a walk along Coast Highway and a good warm-up before dinner in town. The gallery is open daily, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., through January 25, 2027.
