EDITORS' PICKS
We don't have the resources to write in-depth stories about everything. Our editors want to share a few more events each week that we think you should know about. These picks are chosen by them without input from the organizations listed.
First Descents
This special combination of two award-winning films by The North Face, Lhotse and Trango explores lofty places from the Himalayas to the Great Trango Towers in an unforgettable evening of high-altitude storytelling. These films celebrate the spirit of exploration, resilience and the raw beauty of the vertical world. 6:30 p.m. Jan. 8 at Rivian South Coast Theater, Laguna Beach.
OCMA Art Happy Hour & Pop-Up Talk
Join OCMA's art experts for a pop-up talk about an artwork from the museum's current exhibitions. After the talk, visit the bar on Level 2 and enjoy a cocktail inspired by the talk’s featured work. Admission is free and drinks are available for purchase. 5 p.m. Jan. 9 at UC Irvine Langson Orange County Museum of Art.

The multi-faceted event includes two receptions, numerous workshops and panels as well as the presentation of the first-ever Laguna Beach Literary Leader award. Spend a day with nationally recognized, award-winning writers and editors. Workshops, panels and presentations will address the craft of writing, followed by a public sunset celebration of authors and readers. Jan. 10 at Laguna Beach Community & SusiQ Center.
