The centerpiece exhibition marking Laguna Art Museum’s centennial offers a surprise.

DeLap has been making art for more than seventy of his ninety years, and for the bulk of those seven decades has been making art that reflects mature and complex thought.

Centennial celebration features more than 60 paintings by acclaimed as well as lesser-known 20th-century artists.

Six Laguna Beach streets named after some of its early artists will soon be marked with signs distinctive from any other in town.

Laguna Art Museum will open “Art Colony: The Laguna Beach Art Association, 1918–1935.” The opening of the exhibition will be the premiere event in a year-long celebration marking the museum’s 100-year history and legacy.

Tony DeLap is a Southern California-based artist who was a key figure in West Coast minimalism and Op Art of the 1960s and ’70s.

One of Orange County’s most prolific and well-known artists played a direct role in his retrospective, currently on view at Laguna Art Museum through May 28.

The LAM exhibition illustrates how the artist’s sleight of hand became increasingly complicated over his career, until he finally abandoned the magician’s panache in order to lay bare the power of object, surface, and space.

In the early 1900s, steps from Main Beach in Laguna Beach, California, a group of artists first banded together to create an environment in which they could collaborate and, more importantly, show and sell their work.

Laguna Beach’s deep connection with the arts goes back in 1918, when 150 local creative residents started the Laguna Beach Art Association (the city’s population was only 300 then). That association went on to launch what’s now the Laguna Art Museum.

Viewing Laguna Art Museum’s “Tony DeLap: A Retrospective” is like being in the audience of a magic act.

Most artists have a consuming interest that parallels their work in the studio, work that can be isolating and challenging. Cooking, music, architecture and surfing all come to mind. Tony DeLap has long been fascinated by magic.

A century after playing a foundational role in the formation of cultural and civic institutions in Laguna Beach, Anna Hills also plays the lead in the debut film “Laguna Art Museum 100 Years of Artistic Legacy.”

As a young boy growing up in the Bay Area, artist Tony DeLap loved to paint and draw. He enjoyed working with his hands, crafting model airplanes, boats and buildings. And he reveled in the world of magic.

Ninety-year-old Tony DeLap proves the adage that artists seldom retire. He also manifests the theory that the unquenchable creative urge surges up from within us, demanding to be expressed in a variety of artistic disciplines.

Laguna Art Museum sets a good example with several free programs for members of the military, seniors, and students.

Usually, the front of a painting is the part that counts most. It’s the field where a composition lives, color blooms, subject matter — figurative or abstract — unfolds, brushstrokes are elided or emphasized.

The 100-year-old Laguna Art Museum hosted its Centennial Bash—its first of several Centennial Celebrations to be held this year—on Saturday, January 27, from 8 PM to midnight.

The event gets high marks as an evening to remember, celebrating artists working in various mediums in California and just in time to ring in the museum’s centennial year.
