Each year LPAPA hosts the Collectors Gala for art collectors and plein air enthusiasts to gather for a magical evening under the stars with the nation’s top award-winning artists for the premiere of the art work created during the week exclusively for the 24th Annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational “Collectors Gala”. Proceeds generated through ticket and art sales help to support nonprofit Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) year-round art and education programs, and supports the artists who have traveled from near and far to Laguna for this prestigious annual art event.

Hosted by LPAPA outdoors at the Laguna Festival of Arts as guests enjoy the "first look" and first opportunity to purchase the artwork in support of nonprofit LPAPA while enjoying an abundance of delicious gourmet passed hors d’oeuvres prepared for the evening by Saltwater Catering, along with a Sponsor-hosted bar, followed by an “artistic” dessert prepared by Saltwater Catering and served as guests settle in for the Award announcements.

Guests will enjoy complimentary valet parking as they arrive and a "thank you" gift bag at the end of the evening.

A limited number of in-person tickets are available; must be 21 or older to attend. Remote Access tickets are available for Collectors who are unable to join us in person but wish to support LPAPA and have the opportunity to view and purchase artwork remotely with the assistance of a personal Art Concierge (includes optional Face-time with the Artists).
