The world-famous Sawdust Art Festival invites you to experience the artistic wonders of 200 Laguna Beach artists at our 42nd Annual Summer Show. Our artists find inspiration in our canyon paradise of tranquil waterfalls and towering eucalyptus trees and we’re certain you will, too!

Since 1966, art enthusiasts, admirers, and budding artists have been drawn to the unique Sawdust environment for our mix of original fine art and craft. Artists’ media include ceramics, jewelry, painting, textile arts, wood and metal sculpture, photography, hand blown and fused glass, and even scrimshaw. If you’re just starting or looking to increase your art collection, the Sawdust Art Festival is the place for you.

Part of the Sawdust mission is to educate the public about the arts of Laguna Beach so we provide art experiences throughout the summer. We offer art projects for children and adults, artists' demonstrations including glass blowing and Summer Evening Art Classes every Sunday through Thursday at 7 p.m. (class schedules available in June) Take a chance and explore the artist in you!

Join our Sawdust tour guides on a Meet the Artists Tour where you’ll have one-on-one visits with artists or take an informational Walkabout Tour to hear and see interesting behind-the-scenes Sawdust tidbits and facts. Both tours are complimentary and offer visitors an introduction to the arts and a glimpse into the lives of artists. Tour days and times to be announced. Walkabout Tours are ideal for first-time visitors and reservations are recommended.

Another Sawdust summer tradition is the Artists' Benevolence Fund Art Auction on Sunday, August 3, 2-5 p.m. to support local artists in times of dire need. This auction is an excellent opportunity to purchase original artwork while helping support Laguna Beach artists.

And, take a break from your art classes and shopping by enjoying the live entertainment at one of our three stages or dine at one of our outdoor cafés.

The Sawdust Art Festival … a hands-on, interactive art adventure for any age.
