founders work with local artists to
create items that you won't find
anywhere else.

An Artist's
Village
Local inspiration forms the heart
of the art in Laguna Beach. Artists
talk about the beautiful light in
California, the natural colors and
environment. Wyland Galleries
brings to life the artist Wyland's
giant whale imagery, both inside
and outside on the adjoining wall,
and continues to bring awareness
to the environment.
If you're after something more
magical than realistic sea creatures, opt for an original painting
from Lindsay Rapp Gallery, where
the namesake artists crafts artistic pieces featuring mermaids,
transluscent ocean waves, feminine figures and more. Her unique
techniques include using metallic
seashells, 24K gold and silver, and

layers of plexiglass in her work.
The artist-owned Cove Gallery in
the HIP district has been supporting local artists for over 45 years,
bringing a diverse range of affordable work. Easy to spot what's
new-every month they display a
featured artist in the window.
Looking for a statement piece?
Avran Fine Art is a collector's and
interior designer's dream. The
almost museum-like space is
filled with contemporary and traditional sculptures, paintings and
photography. Don't miss the display case filled with jewelry from
Akino Tsuchiya, a designer from
San Francisco who translates her
industrial training into beautiful,
one-of-a-kind silver pieces.
You might wonder if you're
dreaming when you see some of
the brilliantly colorful paintings
with surprising objects in Vladimir
Kush's work at Kush Fine Art
Gallery. Recognized as a master

her brand globally.
Shopping need not be a guilty
pleasure these days. Laguna's
social conscience is well developed
in shops like Laguna Exchange,
where you can see upscale, on
trend and vintage clothing side by
side, and all of it helping those in
need in Laguna. Soul Project brings
together local artists to design
clothes that embody Laguna's
soul through clever graphics and
thoughtful words. At Sunny Days
find everything from Ritual Kits
(for protection, wealth, happiness,
focus, love and more) to patchwork blankets to Bella Dahl and
Z Supply clothing to some great
hoodies for your dog.
