We are the Southern California Artists Association, formed to bring new art education programs and arts-related activities to the Southern California region. We are located in beautiful Laguna Canyon, on the outskirts of Laguna Beach.

We are not dedicated to any one medium or school of art and offer membership to artists of all types. We welcome professionals, non-professionals and full-time college students to our ranks.

We maintain connections to other nonprofit public benefit groups, such as schools, art festivals, other art associations and art museums.

One of our programs is the Atelier, an on-going series of uninstructed, figurative drawing and painting workshops, held four times per week, all year long.

We have scheduled exhibitions, covering a variety of themes and mediums, for 2008 and 2009, as well as demonstrations, lectures, reviews and critiques. Please scroll down to see the announcement of our first figurative exhibition: Go Figure!

On behalf of SoCal Artists, I hope you will consider membership in our association, joining many of your fellow artists and art lovers for what promises to be a fun and rewarding journey into the future of the arts.

Fred Hope, President
