Shacking Up in the OC
If you like to experience art interactively rather than looking at works on a wall, head on down to Laguna Beach. The Laguna Art Museum (LAM) is showcasing the creations of more than two dozen California artists like Don Ed Hardy, Kenny Scharf, Laurie Hassold, Marion Peck, Travis Somerville and Paul Frank– and their take on the “shack” concept.
