The individually sculpted Louies were handed out last night at the 14th Annual Art Star Awards at [seven-degrees] events center. A lively champagne reception preceded the dinner and awards presentation in the festive main room. It had been two years since the last award show when Allyson Allen received the $5,000 Honarkar Family Grant to aid in creating "Pieceful Protest." The controversial exhibit garnered much attention and ultimately found a new home at the Neighborhood Congregational Church, Laguna Art Museum, and the walls last night at the event center. Other highlights from the evening included Honored Speaker Marrie Stone, who shared her love for writing about Laguna's artists over the years, and a surprise performance by No Square Theatre's cast of Lagunatics. They came to show their support and admiration for their Founder, Bree Burgess Rosen, as she received a Lifetime Achievement Award. The Laguna Beach Arts Alliance is a partnership of over 20 Laguna Beach-based arts organizations. They span the visual, performance, written, musical, and corporate and educational arts organizations that enrich the city and its artistic legacy.

Last Thursday, First Thursdays Art Walk showcased students' works from the Fine Arts major at Laguna College of Art + Design. Seven select Laguna Beach galleries participated in LCAD's Annual Professional Gallery/ Student Mentoring Program. See photos of the students and their works. The "Art That's Small" competition at City Hall concluded with awards for the top submissions. See group photo.

People enjoyed the balmy temperature, and the galleries from north to south welcomed guests with painting demos, hospitality, music, and refreshments. The evening continued beyond the Art Walk with live music in five venues and every Thursday Karaoke at The Anchor Line Bar!

Stay tuned for May Art Walk, which will be jam-packed!

Tonight is First Thursdays Art Walk from 6 pm - 9 pm! The weather will be a balmy 75 degrees, great for being outside!
