Fresh Faces 2014 runs now through June 23rd at the Wells Fargo Bank in Laguna Beach. The public is welcome to join the artists for a free reception on Saturday June 21 from 11am – 1pm at the Wells Fargo Bank.

Fresh Faces 2014 showcases a fascinating look into the world of the innovative and fresh new artwork of eleven prestigious artists from Orange County.

These seven exhibitors were recently juried into the Festival of Arts by a panel of seven knowledgeable artists and/or art experts to assure patrons the finest art experience that they expect from the show.

These artists display the variety, personality, and atmosphere that will be available at the Festival of Arts all summer long, and will round out 140 artists for 2014.

Director of Exhibits, Education and Permanent Collections, Ron Morrissette commented, “I am excited to welcome this new group of artists to the Festival of Arts.

The show at Wells Fargo presents a incredible array of artworks that reflect the creativity and high quality standards that have become synonymous with our festival.”
