Art + Nature: Portrait of Place Community Art Workshop with Artist Oriana Poindexter

Join Laguna Art Museum at the Main Beach Cobblestones for a community art project led by artist and scientist Oriana Poindexter, who seamlessly blends art and science to showcase the ocean's beauty. In celebration of LAM’s Art + Nature initiative, the collaborative artwork will embody a "portrait of place" by using historic photo techniques to create a portrait of the marine ecosystem of Laguna Beach. Participants will study ocean specimens with Oriana and collaboratively create detailed artworks that celebrate underwater life. This project provides a special chance to contribute to a collective view of the ocean and deepen our connection with it.

The collaborative art produced during the workshop will be exhibited at LCAD’s Downtown Gallery as part of Oriana Poindexter’s exhibition Blue Forest Portraits through November 7-24.
