Art comes to life during the Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach’s annual Pageant of the Masters.
Living Pictures

A time-honored summer tradition in Laguna Beach, California, is a dazzling evening of art under the stars: the Pageant of the Masters hosted by the Festival of Arts of Laguna Beach. The show returns to the beachside community, after having to postpone in 2020, with nightly performances at 8:30 p.m. from July 7 through September 3. A tourist attraction since opening in 1933—and, until last year, only going dark from 1942 to 1945 during World War II—Pageant of the Masters is where art comes to life by reproducing works by acclaimed masters on a large scale and with live cast members who are painted into the scene for the performance.

Next Exit New York

Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
