Boys & Girls art on display

The Young Artists Society Gallery, located on the lower level of the Laguna Art Museum, hosts “In Our Imagination,” an exhibition by members of the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach.

These pieces of art are inspired by artist Allison Schulnik, also on display at the museum.

To contribute artwork for this show, Boys & Girls Club art director Emily Murray worked with students ages 5 to 12 in her after-school class to create paintings from modeling paste and acrylic paint similar to Schulnik’s.

For more information about “In Our Imagination,” which will be on display until April 14, visit lagunaartmuseum.org/boys-girls-club-exhibitions/.
