Wolfgang Bloch's Art featured in Jack Johnson's New Album

Exciting News! Laguna Art Museum's OsCene and Art Shack artist, Wolfgang Bloch, will be featured in Jack Johnson's upcoming To The Sea album artwork!!!

Wolfgang Bloch, Untitled No. 7, 2009, on display in OsCene 2010: Contemporary Art and Culture in OC
Jack Johnson chose to include a Wolfgang Bloch painting from his own personal collection as the center spread of his new To The Sea album artwork. Wolfgang Bloch, one of Jack’s favorite artists, was born and raised in the vibrant Latin American culture of Guayaquil, Ecuador. At a young age, Bloch discovered the joy of surfing along Ecuador’s secluded beaches and, in the process, the coastal scenery that would forever serve as his primary source of inspiration.

Last OsCene Music Concert: Marc B.

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 6, will be the last music concert of the OsCene 2010 series!!!

Performing will be OC Music Awards nominatee, Marc B.

The concert will take place at Laguna Art Museum at 7:00 p.m.

Admission is FREE and the bar opens at 6:00 p.m.

Marc B.'s music is made to mellow you out. His "Sublime-on-Marley" style is an honest representation of the laid back environment of the California coast. Marc was recently named as a nominee for Best Surf Artist at the 2009 Orange County Music Awards, standing alongside other nominees The Offspring, Matt Costa, and The Vandals. Now working with Oniric Records, Marc B has played with the likes of The White Buffalo, Matt Costa, The Dirty Heads, and others in such beachside locales like The US Open of Surfing, The Boost Mobile Pro, and the ASR Tradeshow. "The Yellow Jelly E.P." has been handed out to the industry's top professionals (including the top 52 Surfers in the World) in their contest gift bags for three years in a row at each major surf contest in the ASP World Tour.

"With a look straight out of Endless Summer and his mellow feel-good vibe, Marc B. may just be the next big thing to come from the southern California music scene." ~ Green Guide Network

Also, tomorrow is First Thursdays ArtWalk where admission to the Museum is free from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. That evening, Laguna Art Museum will host a book sale of lightly or never read art books.

The sale will feature art books and exhibition catalogs for 50% or more below Amazon.com's prices, with most in like-new condition.

The sale will take place from 6:00-8:30 p.m. and all proceeds will benefit the Museum Library. The Museum Library features one of the largest collections of California art books.

Come out to support Laguna Art Museum and have a chance to see OsCene 2010 before it ends May 16th!
