Coastal art communities of Southern California  

Seven-Degrees Located on Laguna Canyon Road, Seven-Degrees is an arts-and-events venue that has taken a novel approach to promoting fine art.  Distinguished by its modern architecture, it offers a unique program where, for a set time, selected artists live and work in compact, well-equipped studios and are given a chance to exhibit their work at the spacious Seven-Degrees Gallery.  The organization hosts high-end corporate events, weddings, and even film festivals in an environment of contemporary works ranging from painting to wearable art.

First Thursdays Art Walk To reach out to the community, the city of Laguna Beach and several galleries joined forces to sponsor the First Thursdays Art Walk, an event that draws thousands on the first Thursday of every month.  A festive atmosphere prevails as sidewalks are thronged with art lovers and revelers.  Fine art, congeniality, refreshments and free shuttle buses plying the major gallery routes make for a successful mix that has had residents and visitors of Orange County returning month after month for the last six years.
