When People Become Living Art: Laguna Beach’s Pageant of the Masters
When someone mentions Laguna Beach, my mind immediately conjures up images of sandy beaches and California surfers. But something many people may not know about Laguna Beach—something that I did not know—is that it also has a thriving artist community, one with annual large events like the Pageant of the Masters that captivate the attention of thousands.

Painted in York
It was the day before my twentieth birthday, and I was in York, England, on a study abroad. I was standing with three other students and one of our professors, looking up at Clifford’s Tower, the keep of York’s medieval castle. It looked down at us, round, beige, and heavy from the top of a green hill. We were trying to decide where to go next. We had spent our morning walking on the walls of the city, and now we were looking for something else to see, something that we hoped wouldn’t come with a hefty price tag.

An American in Florence
The Trevi, one of the most famous baroque fountains in Rome and home to the oldest Roman aqueduct. Art by Denise JonesBy Jennifer JonesIn order to get accepted as an undergraduate into the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy, Denise Jones needed $12,000 in cash, fluent Italian, and an exceptional score on a grueling three-part exam. Like most college students, she was broke when she applied. Thanks to an $11,000 mural commission for the public library in Agoura Hills, California, she pulled the cash together in less than three months.
