Brad Neal’s “Still Life With Stripe” is among the works displayed under the gallery mentoring program.

A dozen fine arts majors from the Laguna College of Art and Design will exhibit their artworks in select Laguna Beach art galleries during First Thursdays Art Walk, 6-9 p.m. Dec. 1, as part of a college mentoring program.

The annual collaboration with First Thursdays Art Walk galleries in its 15th year pairs fine arts majors with member galleries. Representatives guide students through the fundamentals of exhibiting their work and the business side of operating a gallery. With the exception of juried student exhibitions, many students have not exhibited their work professionally. A portion of proceeds from the sale of student art are designated for scholarships.

To view student art works, tour participating galleries listed at lcad.edu.
