Empowering Young Artists. Inspiring a Creative Future.

Our Mission

At the Laguna Art International Foundation, we believe that young artists deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, and showcase their talents in a professional setting.

We support local middle and high school students across Orange County who are passionate about art by providing mentorship, education, and real-world exhibition opportunities at Laguna Art-A-Fair.

Through hands-on learning and connections with professional artists, we help students refine their skills, gain confidence, and take their next steps in the art world.
