Laguna Art Museum will host ‘Artist Panel: Radiant Terrains’ on September 20, bringing guest curator Tyler Stallings together with exhibiting artists Sandow Birk, Rena Small, Anthony Friedkin and Jimi Gleason for a discussion of light, perception and the Southern California landscape.
The panel is scheduled to run from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, California. The event is listed as a talk accompanying ‘Radiant Terrains,’ and will include a live question-and-answer session. Museum admission is included with the programme, according to the museum’s event announcement.
The discussion will focus on the ways Southern California’s distinctive environment has informed the participating artists’ practices. The museum’s description specifically identifies light, perception and landscape as the central subjects of the conversation, connecting the panel to the visual and geographic conditions explored by the artists.
Stallings, the event’s guest curator, will appear alongside Birk, Small, Friedkin and Gleason. The museum identifies all four artists as exhibitors in ‘Radiant Terrains,’ but the available event information does not provide further details about the exhibition’s full checklist, installation or presentation dates.
The programme forms part of Laguna Art Museum’s public-events schedule, which also includes talks, workshops and performances. The museum describes itself as an independent, nonprofit and community-supported institution that has celebrated California art and artists for more than a century. It also identifies itself as Laguna Beach’s oldest cultural institution.
Tickets for the panel are listed at $25 for members and $30 for non-members, with advance registration available through the museum’s ticketing system. ‘Artist Panel: Radiant Terrains’ will take place on Sunday, September 20, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to noon.
