Founded in 1953, the Catalina Museum for Art & History (CatalinaMuseum.org) is located in the quaint city of Avalon on beautiful Catalina Island. Just 23 miles from the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, the Catalina Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving and sharing the remarkable cultural and historical heritage of Catalina as well as enriching the experiences of residents and visitors through an offering of unique and compelling rotating exhibitions, musical concerts, and other educational programs. It is important to note that the Catalina Museum serves two primary markets – the City of Avalon (pop. 3,600) and the greater Los Angeles area (pop. 3.93 million). If including Orange and San Diego Counties (CA), another 6.4 million can be added to that figure. The Catalina Museum opened a new 18,000 square-foot building in Avalon in 2016. The new building allows it to better serve its mission statement through expanded programs and offerings to enhance all facets of the museum. The Catalina Museum is now able to address the increased demand by both locals and visitors for creative and thought-provoking exhibitions and programming. The new building has become an exciting venue for corporate events, wedding parties and other celebrations. It also boasts upgraded facilities, office space, and an expansion of its popular Museum Store. An exciting schedule of exhibitions is on the books to continue a string of gallery successes in recent years. The primary challenges ahead are to increase the museum's prominence within the local community and visitor community, continue the creative sourcing of new exhibitions, maximize the usage of these new facilities, raise sponsorships and major gifts, and operate the museum as a sustainable nonprofit.

Laguna Art Museum is the museum of California art. It collects, cares for, and exhibits works of art that were created by California artists or represent the life and history of the state. Unlike any other museum in the state, it collects California art and only California art, and ranges across all periods and styles, nineteenth-century to present-day. The mission of Laguna Art Museum is to be the premier museum of California art, financially stable and managed according to the highest professional standards—both an artistic destination and a relevant, respected center of culture for Laguna Beach. Laguna Art Museum believes that the artists of California have created works of the highest quality and significance. An artistic center throughout its history, Laguna Beach is a natural home for the premier museum of California art. Laguna Art Museum seeks to develop a permanent collection that represents the rich history of California art; stage serious exhibitions of high artistic quality that complement the collection; offer a robust education program for children, students, and adults alike; and serve the community as a cultural and social center. History The museum traces its origins to the Laguna Beach Art Association, formed by artists in 1918 and incorporated in 1920 with artist Edgar Payne as president. In 1929, following a successful fundraising drive headed by another early Laguna Beach painter, Anna Hills, they opened a grand, custom-built gallery designed by the well known Los Angeles architect Myron Hunt. This survives as the Steele Gallery within the present museum building. In 1972 it became the Laguna Beach Museum of Art. It changed its name to Laguna Art Museum in 1986 with the physical expansion that completed the building as it now stands. Today the museum showcases works from its collection, special exhibitions, and an array of events, including artist talks, concerts, family days, and more.
