Artists combine art and architecture in Laguna Art Museum's group exhibition Art Shack guest curated by Greg Escalante. Immerse yourself in 30 different worlds created by such artists as Don Ed Hardy, SHAG, George Herms, Paul Frank, Marion Peck, and Mark Ryden, among others. Explore surf shacks, tattoo huts, retro shanties and more--shack up at Laguna Art Museum this summer! Art Shack is presented by Hurley.

Many shacks will be enterable, and some will include interactive components such as music and film. Don Ed Hardy’s Tattoo Hut will feature an activated tattoo machine.
Abandoning the rules of the art market and pressure to create saleable work, art shacks allow the artists to create an experiential environment, narrowing the distinction between art and function, object and environment.
