Whether you’re interested in art, athletics, or just spending some time with the family this popular shopping destination is sure to be this season’s hot spot.
Bring some beauty into your world (and home!) while learning more about art at Art OC @TheMix, a pop-up gallery that introduces Orange County's established and emerging artists to the community. Each series will also lectures lectures, live painting, demonstrations, and other community events.
The first ART OC pop-up gallery, which will feature on Orange County's Plein Air Masters, is open to the public through May 31. These beautiful paintings will highlight coastline and rural landscapes. Visitors can also purchase art at the gallery, with a percentage of proceeds benefitting a featured charity such as Project Hope Alliance, an organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Orange County.
