Gina’s Art in the Wild – Event Calendar
Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach
Every summer the organization hosts the Festival of Arts fine art show which has gained international prestige and produces its most famous attraction, the Pageant of the Masters® that for the last eighty years has combined the worlds of theatrical illusion and artistry.
Founded in 1932, the organization remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that the arts can be enjoyed by everyone.
Battle of the Arts
Need a description for the Battle of the Arts July 20th Event. It is not on the Festival website
Platters Painting
Art lovers are invited to a Platter Painting Demonstration on Sunday, July 28, from 12:00-3:00 pm in the Art Center at the Festival of Arts. Visitors will watch as 12 Festival exhibitors try their hand at painting personal designs on giant platters using ceramic glazes. Visitors may mingle about the gathering, watch the progress, and interact with the artists as they are working. Proceeds from Art-To-Go and platter sales support The Artists Fund at Festival of Arts. The platters event is sponsored by Laguna Clay Company.
Each platter will then be auctioned and sold for the benefit of the Artists Fund at the Festival of Arts.
I love this event!
Fashion Show
The Festival Runway Fashion Show is a not-to-be missed event! This event features Festival exhibitors who step out of their artistic medium and into the world of fashion. The result will blow your mind with over-the-top creative couture with the twist of all being made out of recycled, reused and reclaimed materials. Festival artists start months in advance in hopes of taking home the top prize and bragging rights. This event never disappoints, our Festival artists’ creativity and ingenuity keeps it fresh with many surprises!
Art-To-Go Silent Auction Sell-Out
an evening full of creativity, community, and purpose. The Art-To-Go Silent Auction features original works donated by Festival artists, including beautifully glazed ceramic platters.
Proceeds benefit The Artists Fund, supporting hardship and enrichment grants for working artists.
It’s a lively, casual night and a great opportunity to take home a one-of-a-kind piece while supporting the local arts community.
Gina will be attending—come say hello!
Open Studios Event
Mark your calendars for June 7th + 8th, 2025, when the Laguna Canyon Artists Open Studios event returns for a vibrant weekend of creativity and connection. This annual event invites the public into the working studios of some of Laguna Beach’s most talented artists—including Gina Mead. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to explore Gina’s creative space, see her latest abstract expressionist works, and chat with her in person about her process and inspiration. It’s a fun, relaxed way to experience the local art scene up close and support the artists who help make Laguna Beach such a creative hub.
