The Laguna Art Museum has organized a new support group

The Photography, Film and Video Council. The council’s chief mission is to educate its members in the photographic arts and raise money to acquire photographs or related media for the museum’s permanent collection. Council membership, open to museum members only, requires an annual contribution of $125 per individual or $225 per couple. One hundred dollars from each membership will go toward the annual purchase of one or more works of art, to be chosen by council members under the guidance of the museum’s curatorial staff. The remainder of the council’s budget will be used for educational and social events. Information: (714) 494-8971.
