Alongside his wife, Pooja, Ryker joined the remarkable community of wineries in the Paso Robles appellation with the founding of Idola Wine Co. Ryker discovered his passion for wine while studying Kinesiology and Religious Studies at Cal Poly. During his senior year, he became a certified sommelier, laying the foundation for a career that would blend science, craftsmanship, and hospitality. After graduation, Ryker and Pooja moved to Miami, where he continued refining his expertise in the restaurant industry while Pooja completed her PA-C training. The Central Coast eventually called them home. Ryker began his winemaking career as an intern at Denner Vineyards, where he quickly rose to the role of Cellar Master under the mentorship of acclaimed winemaker Anthony Yount. He later became the winemaker for Cordant Winery and Misty Oaks Vineyard, where he continues to produce wines that reflect both precision and place. Driven by a desire to explore a more personal and creative approach to winemaking, Ryker and Pooja founded Idola Wine Co. in 2023. Focused on honest, minimal-intervention winemaking, their mission is to preserve the unique terroir of Paso Robles in every bottle. Inspired by Mediterranean wine traditions, Idola crafts wines that showcase balance, elegance, and a true sense of place. Their inaugural release, Collection I, beautifully captured that vision and established the foundation for the winery. With their second collection, Ryker and Pooja have continued to elevate their craft, producing another outstanding lineup that further reflects their commitment to authenticity, quality, and the extraordinary vineyards of Paso Robles. -  Join us and Owner/Winemaker Ryker Wall This coming Tuesday, July 7th 5:30PM - 8PM $27 for 4  2.5oz pours - [LCAD Gallery presents Blue Belt Exhibition](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/lcad-gallery-presents-blue-belt-exhibition/): BLUE BELT EXHIBITIONLCAD’s Gallery is proud to present original photography from the Laguna Blue Belt Coalition’s 15th annual photo contest winners, celebrating Laguna’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and their diversity.  PUBLIC RECEPTION August 6th, 2026 | 5 PM - 9 PM EXHIBITION DATES Aug 6 - Aug 16, 2026 | 5 PM - 9 PMOpen 11 am to 4 pm | Closed Monday and Tuesday - [South Coast Rivian Theater presents Tides of Change](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/south-coast-rivian-theater-presents-tides-of-change/): Tides of Change: CALIFORNIA OCEAN ALLIANCEREGISTRATION + INFORMATIONWednesday, July 8th, 6:30PM-8:30PMDoors open 6:30pm, Program starts 7:15pmJoin Laguna Ocean Foundation at Rivian South Coast Theatre for Tides of Change, a community event focused on ocean stewardship and advocacy in Laguna Beach.Featuring Brandon Southall of California Ocean Alliance, the event will explore some of the exciting cutting-edge technologies being used to study the behavior of marine mammals and how their behavior can be impacted by human activities.Additionally, we will consider some of the ways these studies feed directly into conservation and applied management decisions and programs to educate the next generation of marine scientists and conservationists.Suggested donation $20.Location: Rivian South Coast Theater (162 South Coast Highway,

Reimagining the mythology of the West through a vivid, contemporary lens, the exhibition brings together three distinct voices united by a shared fascination with cinematic narrative, bold color, and the enduring iconography of cowboy culture.Drawing on the visual language of classic Western films, advertising, and pop culture, Technicolor West transforms familiar archetypes, gunslingers, heroines, and outlaws, into striking, graphic compositions. Saturated hues and heightened contrasts replace dusty realism, offering a vision of the West that feels both nostalgic and newly imagined. Here, the frontier is not merely remembered but represented with a deliberate sense of allure.Billy Schenck, widely recognized as a pioneer of Western Pop, distills the genre to its essential forms. His compositions, marked by sharp edges and luminous color fields, evoke the drama of mid-century cinema while introducing a distinctly modern clarity. Schenck’s work captures moments of tension and spectacle, where gesture and gaze carry the weight of narrative.Chris Watts repositions the female figure at the center of the Western mythos. Watts’ heroines are poised, self-possessed, and vividly rendered, challenging traditional depictions of women in western narratives. Through commanding palettes and precise environments, Watts constructs a West that feels both empowered and brilliant, where identity and presence take precedence over convention.Greg Miller brings a layered, tactile dimension to the exhibition through mixed media works that incorporate collage alongside painterly gesture. His compositions merge pop sensibility with psychological depth, placing figures within fragmented and emotionally charged spaces. Miller’s work suggests a version of the West shaped as much by contemporary culture and collective imagination as by lived history.Together, these artists present a vision of the West that is less about place and more about perception where myth, media, and memory converge. Technicolor West invites viewers to experience the frontier not as a fixed past, but as an evolving image: confident, stylized, and undeniably alive.These artists’ work will inspire, provoke, engage and mesmerize. With visual perceptions always changing, peek behind the stories told and you’re sure to find the right artistic expression.  - [Leah Skidmore Gallery presents Eric Nash | California Noir](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/leah-skidmore-gallery-presents-eric-nash-california-noir/): On view July 1 - 31, 2026PLEASE JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST THURSDAY JULY 2, 6 – 9PMDuring the Laguna Beach First Thursdays ArtwalkSouthern California-based artist Eric Nash is greatly influenced by American pop art, cinema, and photorealism.

The colorful paintings explore the strange intersection of beauty and danger found in nature. The plants often take on personalities of their own, sometimes alluring and elegant, other times ominous or unpredictable. We invite visitors to look closely and experience the tension revealed through color, gesture, and composition. These forms can evoke delight and curiosity yet also stir unease or confusion. Mary is fascinated by this duality - how something visually captivating can also feel unsettling. She encourages us to engage with the work to explore the emotional space where attraction and apprehension coexist, and the unexpected character and complexity found within the natural world. To book a Hortense Miller Garden house and garden tour and see the exhibit, go to www.LagunaBeachCity.net or call 949-464-6645. Tours are offered most Thursdays and Saturdays at 9:45am and take about 90 minutes. This hidden Laguna Gem features a 2.5-acre garden with over a dozen hillside trails and a pristine Mid-Century Modern home built by Knowlton Fernald in 1958 on the slope of Boat Canyon. Tucked under towering Canary Island Pines, planted from one-gallon saplings in 1959, there are over 500 plant species of which about 150 are California natives.  The variety of plantings gives the garden color and texture during every season. The walls of glass offer breathtaking ocean views. The original furnishings give the home a rare authenticity, befitting a true Laguna artist. Admission is free.  Donations gratefully accepted.

His refined approach distills his subject matter to its purest form, often evoking idealized locations reminiscent of film noir environments. California Noir, opening Thursday July 2, 2026, marks Skidmore Contemporary Art’s eighth solo exhibition of Nash's paintings since 2013. By refining his scenes to nearly mythological levels through light, space, surface, and the notable absence of figures, Nash heightens his paintings' meditative qualities. We are invited to linger in the balance between the immediate and the timeless. Interpreting the American landscape by depicting its freeway signs has captured Nash's attention in an ongoing, decades-long series of works. Perhaps the most ubiquitous of all icons, when viewed aloft against an expansive sky, these markers become, in Nash's words, "both stories and places” at the intersection of solitude and nostalgia. Nash draws on traditions of American Realism and California Pop while evoking the abundance and isolation often associated with midcentury modern existentialism. Nash has exhibited widely and appears in the collections of Delta Air Lines, Pacific Investment Management Company, Beth DeWoody, Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi, Linda & Jerry Bruckheimer, Mena Suvari, Hilary Duff, Orlando Bloom, James Ellroy, and Jake Bloom. He has exhibited at the Laguna Art Museum, the Riverside Art Museum, and the Tucson Art Museum. - [Music In The Park](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/music-in-the-park/): Music in the Park is a free public concert series held Sunday evenings in July and August, at Bluebird Park.

Published by Skyhorse, a well-established New York house, and distributed by Simon and Schuster, it can be pre-ordered online now.Feddy and Waldman are planning a launch party at Laguna Beach Books for the evening of July 9, so save the date.Mark your calendar for the July 9 book signing at Laguna Beach BooksBlurb from Skyhorse: “Apology gives us the authority to determine our own future, free of the fear, resentment and guilt we feel from broken relationships. It makes us people of our word, people who can be trusted, people who are ready for real love.”In The Glory of Groveling, authors Feddy and Waldman deliver a refreshingly honest, surprisingly practical and often humorous guide to personal liberation through the art of apology and forgiveness. With their signature blend of insight and irreverence, they offer a six-and-a-half step program designed to help readers drop their pride, own their mistakes and find emotional freedom.This is not your average self-help book. Feddy and Waldman take aim at the ego’s favorite defense mechanisms – deflection, denial, blame – and replace them with simple, actionable tools to repair relationships and release resentment. Whether you’re navigating a rocky marriage, tense work dynamic or the silent guilt of past missteps, The Glory of Groveling invites you to rethink strength, rediscover humility and learn the surprising joy of making things right.With real-life stories, accessible exercises, and just the right amount of sass, this book is a must-read for anyone ready to trade defensiveness for connection and bitterness for peace.”Feddy explained his inspiration for this book and why he collaborated with Michael as co-author.“The short version of my story is that I caused years of nonsense, from confusion to outright chaos in the lives of loved ones, employers, collaborators and myself,” said Feddy.“I’ve been sober now, in a 12-Step program for many years. A particular step, the ninth, became and remains for me a personal passion. This is the one in which, ‘We made amends to our fellows except when to do so would injure them or others.’ As this process had been so transformational for me, I saw no reason why it wouldn’t transfer to anyone who would find it of ample interest to take it for a spin.” - [Laguna Art Museum presents Frank Cuprien: For the Love of the Sea](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/laguna-art-museum-presents-frank-cuprien-for-the-love-of-the-sea/): Frank Cuprien:For the Love of the SeaMarch 21 – September 7, 2026 Plan Your VisitFrank Cuprien: For the Love of the Sea celebrates the enduring legacy of Frank Cuprien, a founding figure of Laguna Beach’s art community and one of California’s most devoted painters of the Pacific coast. Drawn from Laguna Art Museum’s permanent collection alongside key loans, the exhibition brings together luminous seascapes and coastal views that reveal Cuprien’s lifelong dialogue with the ocean. More than a presentation of paintings, the exhibition invites visitors to know Frank Cuprien as an artist and as a person. Archival materials from the museum’s collection, including photographs, letters and personal records offer rare insight into his daily practice, friendships and deep attachment to Laguna Beach. These materials place the artworks in lived context, illuminating how Cuprien returned to the same stretch of shoreline again and again, finding endless variation in light, movement and mood. Together, the artworks and archival selections trace a life shaped by observation, discipline and love for the sea. Frank Cuprien: For the Love of the Sea honors an artist who helped define Laguna Beach as an art colony and whose paintings continue to convey the quiet power, rhythm and generosity of the Pacific Ocean.  - [Laguna Art Museum presents: Andy Moses: Into the Light](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/laguna-art-museum-presents-andy-moses-into-the-light/): Andy Moses: Into the Light March 21 - September 20, 2026 Plan Your Visit - [Laguna Craft Guild at Main Beach](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/laguna-craft-guild-at-main-beach/): More Info2026 ScheduleRain dates held the following weekend.Jan. 18Feb. 15Feb. 22March 8March 22April 12April 26May 10May 24June 14Oct. 11Oct. 25Nov 8Nov.15  - [First Thursdays Art Walk](https://www.visitlagunabeach.com/event/first-thursdays-art-walk/): Held on the first Thursday of every month (officially between 6 pm and 9 pm), this cultural event celebrates the diverse cultural art scene of Laguna Beach and is free to the public. First Thursdays Art Walk is funded by member galleries, local art institutions, lodging establishments, and the City of Laguna Beach. MORE INFORMATIONWe provide extended FREE trolley rides around the area for all of our Art Walk visitors.Laguna Beach also has free public trollies that run year-round!
