Explore the wealth and creativity of local and
international artists who have created more than 80 unique
pieces of public art located throughout Laguna Beach.
n the summer of 2012 the City of
Laguna Beach installed three public
art pieces in the stunning ocean
front Heisler Park. The art works, "Time
Connected," "Continuous Rotation" and
"Tidal Pull" are based on a poem by Shelly
Cooper titled "Giggle Crack." The artwork
features mosaics and bronze sculptures
with ceramic inlay, complemented by large
natural stone slab benches.
Husband and wife artist team, Scott and
Naomi Schoenherr explained, "Our goal
was to create an environment where the
visitors can encounter and explore through
the artwork with elements of discovery.
Many cohesive elements were used to
create a flow through the sculpture garden,
connecting each artwork and also the City
to the ocean."
Other recent additions to the City's
public art collection can be seen on
Broadway with an artist-designed railing
by Marsh Scott and sculpture by
Cheryl Ekstrom. The artist- designed
handrail is created of stainless steel and
fused glass. Marsh Scott said, "The glass
panels depict the colors of the canyon
leading to the ocean. This location is
the first glimpse visitors get of the ocean
and where a transition from the canyon
begins." Opposite is Cheryl's bronze
sculpture "Warriors United." The figures
represent protection and strength.
Other works include the "Laguna
Greeter" statue (near Main Beach),
which commemorates Eiler Larsen,
who spent many years on this corner
