Manhattan Beach Art Community

Hosted by Lydia Guerrero

A growing community for artists, beginners, and curious creatives in the South Bay. We come together through intimate, instructor-led art experiences, as well as uninstructed Paint-Out & Sketch gatherings, creating space to learn, experiment, see differently, and connect with others who love making art.

No experience required. No commitment. Just a shared curiosity to create.

Join our email list to hear about upcoming workshops, new sessions, and opportunities to create alongside other artists. Art Members also receive preferred pricing on instructed sessions. There is no cost to join.

Paint-Out & Sketch

EVERY FIRST WEEKEND OF THE MONTH

Our uninstructed Paint-Out & Sketch sessions are a relaxed way to spend time making art together outdoors. All levels are welcome—bring your preferred medium, sketchbook, or painting setup and enjoy the creative energy of the community. RSVP is encouraged so we can get a sense of our group size and choose the beautiful location that will suit us best.

The Seeing Practice

Our current instructor-led plein air experiences designed to help you slow down, look more closely, and paint from life. Each session takes place in a different South Bay setting and is led by an inspiring artist with their own approach and perspective. All levels are welcome—from those painting outdoors for the first time to experienced artists looking to deepen their practice.
