Selections from the Collection: The Water Show

“Water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink.” The Festival of Arts is making a splash with its new exhibit at foaSOUTH where visitors will be surrounded by water, but not the drinking kind. Combining the theme of water with the artistic medium of watercolors, “Selections from the Collection: The Water Show” will be on display at foaSOUTH now until June 5, 2012.

Featured in the exhibit are pieces from the Festival of Arts permanent collection, a variety of classical and contemporary watercolors spanning the last 50 years. Artwork includes “Bowman” by Hal Akins (featured on the 1987 Festival of Arts Poster), Edmund Ashby’s “Grain of Salt,” “Fish & Lobster” by Scott Moore, William S. Daniel’s “Swimmers at Long Beach,” and “Cold Front” by Scott Albert.  The show is made up of all watercolors, except for one untitled vase by ceramic artist Fred Stodder, which inspired Exhibit Curator Pat Sparkuhl.

Opened as a collaboration between Festival of the Arts and Active Culture, foaSOUTH serves visitors and residents of Laguna Beach by promoting Festival-related exhibitions throughout the year. Located at 1006 S. Coast Highway on the corner of Anita and PCH, the gallery has partnered with Active Culture to provide frozen yogurt and natural foods on the premises at their café. Open from 7:00am – 10:00 pm. The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization whose proceeds go to support the arts in and about Laguna Beach.
