About LagunaART.com

LagunaART.com began in 2004 as a platform to connect artists and collectors through curated exhibitions and cultural events.

In 2014, it launched its first virtual exhibitions with just 10 artists. The following year, the LagunaART.com iPhone app was introduced, allowing visitors to easily explore art and culture from their mobile devices.

In 2017, the gallery opened its first physical location in Laguna Beach next to the Laguna Art Museum. Starting with 4,000 sq. ft., it quickly expanded to all five retail spaces in the building, representing more than 200 artists.

In 2020, the Laguna Beach location closed, and the focus shifted toward expanding the virtual gallery and artist membership, which grew to over 400 artists. In 2021, LagunaART.com opened its flagship and current physical gallery— an 8,500 sq. ft. space in The Shops at Mission Viejo, located next to Nordstrom and the Apple Store.

Today, LagunaART.com rotates 400 artists through the gallery year-round, with a new exhibition every first Saturday of the month (3–6 PM), featuring live music, refreshments, and a vibrant art community.

Live & Virtual

Monthly in-person receptions and live performances bring the Mission Viejo gallery to life, while virtual exhibitions and the iPhone app give collectors worldwide access to the artists’ work. The way people shop for fine art has transformed in the last decade — and LagunaART.com has embraced it, using social media and a highly searchable online platform to showcase art to a global audience.
