Laguna Plein Air Quick Draw Competition

Laguna Plein Air Quick Draw Competition

Presented by Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) at Festival of Arts

2pm - 4pm at Heisler Park: 35 invited Artists, selected from the top award-winning plein air artists from across the country, will gather along Heisler Park in Laguna Beach to compete in the annual Quick Draw plein air painting competition sponsored by Southwest Art Magazine which requires the artists to complete a plein air masterpiece in 2 hours! Watch and be amazed what these pros can do!

4pm - 5pm at Laguna Festival of Arts: The public is invited to join us for the LPAPA hosted Meet & Greet Reception with the Artists. Enjoy refreshments, meet the Artists, mingle with art lovers, and preview the 35 framed Quick Draw paintings, finished just moments earlier, that will be sold starting at 5pm!

5pm - 6pm at Laguna Festival of Arts: Fantastic opportunity to add a special plein air painting to your collection that was  just created before your eyes by an award winning plein air artist. A new twist this year! The Quick Draw paintings will be offered in a Quick Sale rather than auction — but not to worry, there’s an auction of Small Works on Wednesday!

LPAPA will have dedicated Laguna Beach Trolleys running between Heisler Park and the Festival of Arts grounds throughout the afternoon. Additional event details can be found at LagunaPleinAir.org

Join the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association for an afternoon celebrating the plein air painting tradition and Laguna's artistic legacy!

Proceeds from the sale of artwork benefits the artists and nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) and its mission to preserve Laguna's artistic legacy and the plein air painting tradition!
