Every artist in Southern California knows that the place to be in the summer months is the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts. This has been a dream of mine for many years and it's finally coming true.
I can't tell you how honored I am to have been invited to this "world-renown cultural institution famous for its juried fine art exhibition and the Pageant of the Masters".
This is a two month affair, running from July 1st to August 31st. If you are planning to visit beautiful Laguna Beach during that time, please stop by and look for me!
July 1st - July 4th 10:00 am - 6:00 pm
July 5th - Aug 31st 10:00 am - 11:30 pm

Dear Ester,
I know the Art’s Festival well. Growing up in Calif. (I now live in NJ), my Grandmother lived in Laguna and we were there constantly as children. My Grandmother often took me to the Festival and to the Pageant of the Masters. Wonderful memories! My Grandmother also was a wonderful artist and entered many of her paintings to the Festival each year. She won many ribbons for her landscapes & seascapes. My love of art (now colored pencil) came from her and her encouragement!! I wish you all good luck at the Festival. I know that your work will be greatly appreciated by your visitors.
Continued Success!! LYN, West Orange, NJ

I’m not shock that you was picked for this, you are a art master after all…

So happy for you. Will you be showing off you Icarus
board? That could be great for people who do not know anything about Icarus Art. Lois

I’m so happy for you Ester. I know that this is one of your goals, and of course you have attained it and in no time at all. How much time do you actually “sit” at the festival with your work, and how many pieces will you have on display?

Thank you, Debbi! The festival is open for two months for about 13.5 hours a day!!! Mario and I will be there as much as humanly possible. I’ll probably display four large pieces, several mediums and many small ones. In the next three months I’ll have to create a lot of 5x5’s and 6x6’es because those are the ones that go fast and I don’t have many small works in my inventory.
