The Festival of Arts is pleased to announce a new exhibit, “Figures and Faces” now on display at the Wells Fargo Bank in Laguna Beach through April 30, 2013. The exhibit showcases the diverse styles and materials used by some of Laguna Beach’s most talented figurative and portrait artists. Their work will also be on display in this summer’s Festival of Arts Fine Art Show.

A special opening reception with the exhibiting artists will be held Saturday, April 6 from 11am – 1pm. The reception is free and open to the public.

“Working in different mediums, each artist brings their own perspective on the human figure,” says curator Tim Shockley. “This exhibit has a little bit of everything- from realistic black and white portraits to colorful abstract figures and more.”
