While the museum is not hosting on-site public programs, we are pleased to offer a virtual Art & Nature Family Festival with art, nature, and science activities for all ages.
The museum’s annual Art & Nature event provides a festival of art and ideas for the community; inspires artists; finds and develops connections between art and science; raises awareness of environmental issues; and celebrates Laguna Beach as a center for the appreciation of art and nature.
