This year’s Laguna Plein Air Invitational Collectors Gala will celebrate a special Milestone 20th Anniversary and should not be missed! LPAPA has invited artists that participated in the first Invitational in 1999 plus the top “best in show” award winners and more!

Plan to spend an enchanting evening under the stars with 50 of the nations top award winning artists, surrounded by art lovers and some of the finest plein air fine art you will find anywhere! Our 20th anniversary gala will be hosted at our new Festival of Arts “Invitational Home” on Saturday October 13th, 7:00pm to 10:30pm.

Gala attendees will have the first, and potentially only, opportunity to view the entire collection of artwork created during the week-long plein air painting event, and guests will have the first opportunity to purchase award winning paintings in advance of the general public.

The Invitational Artists will be exhibiting what they consider to be their three best plein air paintings created during the week, presented for judging and prize consideration — over $40,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded, with the top prize being the coveted $10,000 “Best in Show” award! Gala guest will be the first to know the award winners!

The paintings published in the 2018 Invitational Art Catalogue will also be exhibited and available for purchase at the Gala.

Ticket price includes complimentary valet parking and Art Catalogue.

Cocktail attire suggested. Must be 21 or older to attend.
