Plan to visit Laguna Beach during October for the 20th Annual “Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational”!
Save the dates October 6 - 14, 2018, for the 20th Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational.
LPAPA and our Laguna Beach Community are celebrating very special milestones this year.
The first Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational was presented in 1999. This year LPAPA will present its 20th Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational at its new home located at the Festival of Arts in the heart of Laguna’s arts district!
100 years ago in 1918, the first Laguna Beach Art Association was established and the first Art Gallery in Laguna Beach was opened by early plein air artists that we know and celebrate, such as Edgar Payne, William Wendt, Frank Cuprien, Anna Hills and many others. This gallery evolved to become today's Laguna Art Museum!
LPAPA’s mission, as a nonprofit art organization, is dedicated to preserving Laguna’s rich artistic legacy established by these early Plein Air Artists – who we honor today with our mission and dedication to the plein air painting tradition in Laguna Beach, connecting outdoor painters across the nation, and around the world.
To honor these milestones in history, we have planned a unique and special celebration!
During this 9-day plein air painting celebration includes both free and ticketed events throughout the week! Please check LPAPA's Invitational Events Page for daily events and details: 2018 Laguna Plein Air Invitational Events.
Proceeds generated through this event support nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association's mission and education programs, the arts and artists!
