Check out the brew-up over the merger of the Laguna Art Museum with
the Newport Harbor Art Museum to form the Orange County Museum of
Art at <http://www.coosville.com/lamp>. Watch the locals duke it out
over issues of local control, the role of shrinking corporate dollars
in the intense competition for resources, and the debate over the value of
consolidation of smaller museums into regional art institutions.

While there, enjoy the art of Roark Gourley and others, check out
Coolsville, and preview the Festival of the Arts and the Sawdust
Festival.
