During a one-month period, Village residents voted for their single favorite artwork in the 2025 Laguna Woods Art Association exhibition, showcased along the first- and third-floor hallways of the Laguna Woods Village Community Center at 24351 El Toro Road.
Resident voters have spoken: Painting No. 37, “Keith Richards,” a 25-by-22-inch mixed media piece created by Linda Ewing, takes the prize. Many hearty congratulations to Ms. Ewing!
