Welcome to the 42nd Annual Summer Show at the Sawdust Art Festival. Come experience the creative wonders of nearly 200 Laguna Beach artists in our enchanting outdoor canyon paradise adorned with waterfalls, eucalyptus trees, and the best hand crafted art in California. Our Summer of Enchantment is sure to inspire your inner artist!

Art enthusiasts, collectors, and novice artists have come to the Sawdust since our beginning in 1966 for our mix of fine art and craft. Media include hand blown and fused glass, painting, jewelry, surf art, ceramics, textile, wood and metal sculpture, scrimshaw, photography, and so much more. And, our artists are eager to share their creative process with you so please, feel free to ask questions.

In keeping with our mission, “to educate the public about the art created in Laguna Beach,” the Sawdust Art Festival provides a variety of art and craft projects for all ages at our Children’s Art Spot, Ceramics Booth, Sawdust Studio, and our world-class Glass Blowing Booth. We also offer Summer Evening Art Classes at 7 p.m. Sunday-Thursdays. We hope you’ll try your hand at creating your own masterpiece.

Your day at the Sawdust can also include an up close visit with select artists during our Meet the Artists Tour on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. or take an informational 30-minute Walkabout Tour* of the Sawdust grounds to learn interesting tidbits on Saturdays and Sundays at 12 noon. Both tours are complimentary with admission and reservations are recommended for groups of 8 or more. *(Walkabout Tours are available during the week with reservation; call (949) 497-0514).

Sunday, August 3 is the Sawdust Artists’ Benevolence Fund Art Auction from 2 p.m.-5 p.m. This annual event features fine, original art being auctioned to raise funds to support local artists in times of dire need.

Take a breather from your art classes, shopping and sight seeing to enjoy a fresh meal at one of our three outdoor cafés or to enjoy our live entertainment. And if you need more time to experience the Sawdust, simply upgrade to a Season Pass!

The Sawdust Art Festival…creatively fun!
