A RENOVATION
TO REMEMBER
A YEAR AFTER THE LAGUNA ART MUSEUM TURNED 100, IT GOT A
REFRESHED LOOK IN ITS LOWER-LEVEL GALLERIES.

hen you set foot on the caramel-colored wood floors of
the Steele Gallery inside Laguna Art Museum, you are,
in effect, taking a step back in time. The space remains
largely unchanged from its original design, a simplistic, well-lit
room perched on Cliff Drive that was made possible thanks to the
Laguna Beach Art Association, a group of local artists who banded
together nearly a century ago to show and sell their work-and
then eventually established the museum in 1929. Today, pieces by
California artists and artwork depicting the state are displayed, just
as they were when the museum first opened its doors.

Following a centennial celebration
that included gallery exhibitions, lectures
and a special fundraising ball in 2018,
the Laguna Art Museum revealed a new
look for the lower-level galleries, thanks
to the help of a city grant program that
helped launch the remodel.
Following a Dan McCleary exhibit that was held on the lower level
through January 2018, the museum
shut down the Brief Gallery and
the Segerstrom Family Gallery in
order to to redesign their interiors.
The project started with the installation of improved heating and

air-conditioning systems, courtesy of
funding from the Cultural Facilities
Matching Grant Program, followed by
an additional effort to alter the look
of the galleries themselves, including
adding more exhibition space and
enlarging the walkway between them.
Although the museum first came
to be in 1929, the lower-level galleries were part of a 1934 addition, and
while the recent renovation brought
a restored floor to the lower-level
galleries, the inscribed names of the
donors from the original project are
still intact.
